“We are living in the data deluge age. The Data Mining: Concepts and
Techniques shows us how to find useful knowledge in all that data.
This Third Edition significantly expands the core chapters on data
preprocessing, frequent pattern mining, classification, and clustering. The bookIt also comprehensively covers OLAP and outlier
detection, and examines mining networks, complex data types, and important
application areas. The book, with its companion website, would make a great
textbook for analytics, data mining, and knowledge discovery courses.”
-Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro,
President, KDnuggets
“Jiawei, Micheline,
and Jian give an encyclopaedic coverage of all the
related methods, from the classic topics of clustering and classification, to
database methods (association rules, data cubes) to more recent and advanced
topics (SVD/PCA , wavelets, support vector machines).. Overall, it is an
excellent book on classic and modern data mining methods alike, and it is ideal
not only for teaching, but as a reference book.”
