“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.”

“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.”
