Mathematical Tools for Data Miningby Dan A. Simovici; Chabane Djeraba
Springer 2008; US$ 129.00
The maturing of the field of data mining has brought about an increased level of mathematical sophistication. Such disciplines like topology, combinatorics, partially ordered sets and their associated algebraic structures (lattices and Boolean algebras), and metric spaces are increasingly applied in data mining research. This book presents these mathematical foundations of data mining integrated with applications to provide the reader with a comprehensive reference. Mathematics is presented in a thorough and rigorous manner offering a detailed explanation of each topic, with applications to data mining such as frequent item sets, clustering, decision trees also being discussed. More than 400 exercises are included and they form an integral... more...

This book provides a step-by-step guide to creating and implementing models of the most commonly asked data mining questions. Readers will learn how to prepare data to mine, and develop accurate data mining questions. The author, who has over ten years of data mining experience, also provides actual tested models of specific data mining questions for marketing, sales, customer service and retention, and risk management. A CD-ROM, sold separately, provides these models for... more...
Exploratory Data Mining and Data Cleaningby Tamraparni Dasu; Theodore Johnson
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 128.00
Written for practitioners of data mining, data cleaning and database management. Presents a technical treatment of data quality including process, metrics, tools and algorithms. Focuses on developing an evolving modeling strategy through an iterative data exploration loop and incorporation of domain knowledge. Addresses methods of detecting, quantifying and correcting data quality issues that can have a significant impact on findings and decisions, using commercially available tools as well as new algorithmic approaches. Uses case studies to illustrate applications in real life scenarios. Highlights new approaches and methodologies, such as the DataSphere space partitioning and summary based analysis techniques.

Visual Data Miningby Tom Soukup; Ian Davidson
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 68.50
Marketing analysts use data mining techniques to gain a reliable understanding of customer buying habits and then use that information to develop new marketing campaigns and products. Visual mining tools introduce a world of possibilities to a much broader and non-technical audience to help them solve common business problems. Explains how to select the appropriate data sets for analysis, transform the data sets into usable formats, and verify that the sets are error-free Reviews how to choose the right model for the specific type of analysis project, how to analyze the model, and present the results for decision making Shows how to solve numerous business problems by applying various tools and techniques Companion Web site offers links to... more...
Tech Miningby Alan L. Porter; Scott W. Cunningham
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 128.00
Tech Mining makes exploitation of text databases meaningful to those who can gain from derived knowledge about emerging technologies. It begins with the premise that we have the information, the tools to exploit it, and the need for the resulting knowledge. The information provided puts new capabilities at the hands of technology managers. Using the material present, these managers can identify and access the most valuable technology information resources (publications, patents, etc.); search, retrieve, and clean the information on topics of interest; and lower the costs and enhance the benefits of competitive technological intelligence operations. more...
Data Miningby Sushmita Mitra; Tinku Acharya
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 147.00
First title to ever present soft computing approaches and their application in data mining, along with the traditional hard-computing approaches Addresses the principles of multimedia data compression techniques (for image, video, text) and their role in data mining Discusses principles and classical algorithms on string matching and their role in data mining more...
Discovering Knowledge in Databy Daniel T. Larose
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 111.00
Learn Data Mining by doing data mining Data mining can be revolutionary-but only when it's done right. The powerful black box data mining software now available can produce disastrously misleading results unless applied by a skilled and knowledgeable analyst. Discovering Knowledge in Data: An Introduction to Data Mining provides both the practical experience and the theoretical insight needed to reveal valuable information hidden in large data sets. Employing a "white box" methodology and with real-world case studies, this step-by-step guide walks readers through the various algorithms and statistical structures that underlie the software and presents examples of their operation on actual large data sets. Principal topics include: * Data preprocessing... more...
Data Modeling with ERwin, Adobe Readerby M. Carla DeAngelis
Pearson Education 2000; US$ 31.99
This is the eBook version of the printed book. From the first chapter, author Carla DeAngelis skillfully explains the normally complex concepts of Data Modeling-a critical success factor in the information-based enterprises of today. Carla tackles complex topics such as Logical Data Models, Modeling Methodologies, Relationships, and Attributes in a clear style that makes it simple for anyone to begin applying them immediately. Once the foundation has been laid, Carla teaches you to develop your own databases with ERwin. You will learn to use the tool to create primary keys and assign attributes, build data relationships with point and click ease, build and edit tables with Erwin's built-in editors, create indexes with the Index Editor, write... more...
Data Miningby Ian H. Witten; Eibe Frank
Elsevier 2005; US$ 71.95
As with any burgeoning technology that enjoys commercial attention, the use of data mining is surrounded by a great deal of hype. Exaggerated reports tell of secrets that can be uncovered by setting algorithms loose on oceans of data. But there is no magic in machine learning, no hidden power, no alchemy. Instead there is an identifiable body of practical techniques that can extract useful information from raw data. This book describes these techniques and shows how they work. The book is a major revision of the first edition that appeared in 1999. While the basic core remains the same, it has been updated to reflect the changes that have taken place over five years, and now has nearly double the references. The highlights for the new edition... more...
Data Mining In Time Series Databasesby Mark Last; Abraham Kandel; Horst Bunke
World Scientific 2004; US$ 85.80
Adding the time dimension to real-world databases produces Time Series Databases (TSDB) and introduces new aspects and difficulties to data mining and knowledge discovery. This book covers the state-of-the-art methodology for mining time series databases. The novel data mining methods presented in the book include techniques for efficient segmentation, indexing, and classification of noisy and dynamic time series. A graph-based method for anomaly detection in time series is described and the book also studies the implications of a novel and potentially useful representation of time series as strings. The problem of detecting changes in data mining models that are induced from temporal databases is additionally discussed. more...
