 Excellent review of data mining methodsJan 02, 1999
By M. Anstey
"manstey"
This was the text I've been looking for over the last year. It is organized in a very logical manner, first outlining the foundation knowledge necessary to begin understanding the data mining field. It then proceeds to outline the methods and models driving this exciting new field. My only complaint is that the CD Rom at the back requires a non-toll free phone call to get the necessary password before you can use the software, and then only for a finite period of time. But its of little significance compared to the wealth of information contained in this book for both experts and novices.

 More of an advertisment than a data mining bookJan 14, 1999
If you have any knowledge of data mining then this book is a disappointment. It seemed more of thinly veiled advertisement for the software included in the book. I can see it having value for the neophyte who might need an introduction that includes software and actual examples, but professionals should skip it.

 A great starting point for those interested in Data MiningJan 06, 1999
This is a well written and interesting book on a complex topic. I especially appreciated the first four chapters, which provide a good overview of estimation and classification, and chapters 10 through 12 which describe the main algorithms, training and testing and troubleshooting.
Interesting for basic DM concepts but a little bit old nowSep 14, 2005
By Vallaud
This book gives you a good overview of the basic methods of Data Mining. The software is still working even if PRW is no replaced by Affineum Model from Unica or Model 1 from Group 1.
This book should now need a new version up to date on these new tools.
