Basic Tools for Understanding Data

The primary objective of this chapter is twofold. The first objective is to present a number of tools that are useful for the data understanding phase of the CRISP-DM process model (Chapman et al., 2000). The set of tools we present in this chapter is not the complete set we present in the book. The chapters on linear and logistic regression will present additional visualization tools useful in this phase of a data mining project. We have elected to hold off on the presentation of these visualization tools since they will have greater value in the context of those chapters. The second objective of this chapter is to introduce you to R and the modified version of the R Commander that we will use as ...
