A good starting book, a little IBM proprietary

This is a cogent book about the topic.It is a good size for those who want to enter the field. It is also good for the fielders who, after several practical battles, want to vacate and sort out their thought for a while. A book progressing very well. Fine logical strings threaded delicately in case contexts. Communicative, precise wording, little redundency. Cases a little simple for savvy beginners. Relating to application is excellent idea, but applications are a little IBM proprietary. We know the field is full of choices. SAS, BusObject,.. the list goes on. Some parts look like a AS400 introductory user manual. Obviously the writers have working experience. Not much lessons covered though. Technological infrastructures are little touched upon. No blame : tech is changing too fast. The book shows the author has the best quality one looks for in an analyst: simple, plain words for an essentially technical topic. Should consider having a second volume.

A clear introduction to data mining algorithms and process.

I found this book really useful and very simple to read. I suggest this book to executive and business people to have an overview about the data mining process and to practioners to have an idea about DM possible business applications.

Excelent book, an introduction to the subject.
