Editorial Review Product Description Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your data, the return on the resources invested in mining is certain to be disappointing. Dorian Pyle corrects this imbalance. A twenty-five-year veteran of what has become the data mining industry, Pyle shares his own successful data preparation methodology, offering both a conceptual overview for managers and complete technical details for IT professionals. Apply his techniques and watch your mining efforts pay off-in the form of improved performance, reduced distortion, and more valuable results. On the enclosed CD-ROM, you'll find a suite of programs as C source code and compiled into a command-line-driven toolkit. This code illustrates how the author's techniques can be applied to arrive at an automated preparation solution that works for you. Also included are demonstration versions of three commercial products that help with data preparation, along with sample data with which you can practice and experiment. Customer Reviews (13)
Wrong Audience
Great Book
Still very much worth reading in 2007
The best book on this subject
Excellent book Chapter 11 introduces the Data Survey topic in which techniques based in Shannon's Information Theory are showed. These information theory approaches are simply wonderful and gives to the Data Mining subject the bases to get models that extract complete relevant information from the data. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to work seriously with Data Mining. ... Read more |

Golden Ideas for Mining Gold from Your Groups
Mining Group Gold Mr. Kayser understands group dynamics.By reading and more importantly, following his "recipes", you will find that meetings are both more efficient and effective.
Treasure Trove of Productivity What a wonderful and unexpected surprise reading it was!Although concrete steps are given to guide people into getting the most outof working together and, more important, thinking together, its basic valuecomes from the way it enables folks to remain themselves - only do a betterjob of it. Since leaving Xerox three years ago to be a consultant forMicrosoft, General Electric and Sun Microsystems, I've given numerouscopies to new cohorts so as to make life easier and the flow of work moreefficient for all.
Tap the Mother Lode of Collaborative Cranial Creativity Starting with John Kenneth Gailbraith's infamous attribilious amphigory: "Meetings are vital to those who want to makesure nothing happens" Kayser leads the reader through the labyrinth oftraditional meeting quagmires and enables everyone to profit from combiningtheir brain power optimally. In practical, no-nonsense terms, nothing isleft to chance. Those who practice the lessons will reap the immediate andcontinued rewards from the old axiom of time being money!
most important book about making teams effective available I speak fromexperience, then, in stating that Mining Group Gold is straight-forward,intuitively sound technology which can have profound effect on the style offacilitators in carrying out their difficult roles, and on ALL members of ateam, a work group, (or even a board of directors!) to increase their senseof ownership, and their commitment to outcomes. It's an easy read, and Irecommend it as the best available resource in my experience for creatingand continually improving meeting effectiveness. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (7)
This book will open your eyes!!! "A Chinaman's Chance," however, focuses on the positive Chinese experiences.Did you know that the Chinese had superior eating habits and work ethics?Hidong Sidong was the first Chinese man to lead an asian hiking expedition in the 19th century.Did you know that?Do you know who invented Rocky Mountain oyster stew? I strongly recommend this book.
An innovative, pathbreaking work on the Chinese in America. This study is a must-read for students of theAmerican West and Frontier and those interested in ethnic history inVictorian American.His research is impeccable, his writing witty, and hiscommitment to telling a real, even compelling story is unprecedented inethnic history. A CHINAMAN'S CHANCE is outstanding history!

This book is about the exception to the rule.

Comprehensive book about web mining, although not technical
Mining the Web I continue to use it for reference as a resource manual. I highly encourage anyone just getting interested in the concept of data mining, anyone in sales, marketing, public relations, and analytics to start with this book first. After reading this book you will have a strong foundation into data mining applications and a vivid sense of direction on how to make it work for you personally!!!!

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
A United Field Theory Robin Robertson tells us at the onset that, "When we dig deep enough into our own identity, we see the whole world spread before us."(4)The mining metaphor seems apt in that the inner journey may be readily seen as an encounter with and processing of the paradoxical interrelatedness of all our experience, an operation that leads to the knowledge of the unity of all life. This book has a practical, pro-active edge to it and, having presented his thesis that we live our lives from the inside out, Robertson shows that the inner world can best be entered by means of gateways and rituals, then proceeds to guide us through the realms of dreams, synchronicity, meditation, the Tibetan Bardos, chakra lore, and divination, with particular attention given to mind machines, channeling, music tapes and CDs, active imagination and the I Ching. Dreams are the most obvious and accessible gateway to one's inner life and early on Robertson's discussion of dreams makes clear what he means by "gateways". The section on dreams gives way to a wide ranging discussion of the most recent investigations in brain research and holograms, a segue intended to help the reader integrate the personal and the subjective, the inner world, with the so-called objective and scientific world.Robertson provides . . ." scientific descriptions of unusual phenomenon simply because we are all so inculcated with the view that science knows everything, (or so we think), that it's hard for us to take anything truly seriously unless it has scientific support. (4) Throughout, the author's strategy is to link the two worlds, or cultures, that of the inner and mystical, or spiritual, with that of the outer and common sensical, or scientific, so that they are mutually illuminating.Dr. Robertson's lucid prose renders vividly clear not only the opaque constructions of science and mathematics, such as those having to do with the holographic universe, chaos theory, neural networks, saliency and the ins and outs of the latest mind tools, but also the seemingly mysterious propositions of mediumistic oracles, Jungian active imagination, and chakra meditation, as well as those of the psychoid universe and the I Ching. One of the great delights of this book is the depth and sweep of Robin Robertson's knowledge. Obviously, much of this material on mediation, or mind machines or the I Ching and so on is in wide circulation in the popular market and we often find that it really is more or less discredited by the intellectual community as "fringe" or New Age wishful and wistful speculation and enthusiasm.We might think of it as the shadow side of mainstream science.A good part of the power of this book is that the author's vision invites this shadow side in and makes a meaningful place for it.One isreminded ofthe various attempts in the twentieth century to find a unified field theory.Robinson does not tell us that this is his goal; his hope for his book is more practical:"This book might be viewed as a guidebook toward creating trained practitioners of the psyche." (27), and he accomplishes this end admirably. Mining the Soul, not only argues for the unity of inner and outer worlds, it demonstrates it.To agree to this unity, to consider and act upon the principles of the Spirit incarnate is, indeed, to take up a revolutionary stance.Would it not be revolutionary, for instance, in terms of the world wide environmental, ecological crisis, if we were to experience the full interrelatedness of inner and outer, so that we fully realized that our bodies, flesh, spirit and soul, and our planet are in essence one? 30 ...

A nice applied Data Mining Book The first type such as by Hand et' al, Han, The second type which this book falls into This book is a good example of how to apply Highly recommended.
Highly recommended In addition, Michael Berry of Data Miners, Inc states "As this book shows, visualization plays an important role in every step of the data mining process. Soukup and Davidson take the reader through every detail of this process, providing sample SQL code for each practical example. In fact, much of their advice on project planning and data extract, transformation and cleaning is applicable to all data mining projects, visual or not." I found the eight step VDM methodology applicable to data mining my own data. Highly recommended.

Editorial Review Product Description This book is the first to describe applied data mining methods in a consistent statistical framework, and then show how they can be applied in practice. All the methods described are either computational, or of a statistical modelling nature. Complex probabilistic models and mathematical tools are not used, so the book is accessible to a wide audience of students and industry professionals. The second half of the book consists of nine case studies, taken from the author's own work in industry, that demonstrate how the methods described can be applied to real problems. A valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of applied statistics, data mining, computer science and economics, as well as for professionals working in industry on projects involving large volumes of data - such as in marketing or financial risk management. Data sets used in the case studies are available at ftp://ftp.wiley.co.uk/pub/books/giudici Customer Reviews (5)
