Rezension

"A Practical Guide to Data Mining for Business and Industrygives practical tools on how information can be extracted from masses of data. The book is very well written, in a conversational tone that makes it enjoyable to read. The authors are excellent communicators. If you are interested in learning about data mining, learning to do a particular task in data mining, looking for a textbook to use in a data mining or analytics course, or have a problem or data analytic task you are working on, this book would be an excellent place to start."
