Preamble

Before moving into a discussion of the proper algorithms to use for a data mining project, we must take a side trip to help you understand that modeling algorithms are just one set of data mining tools you will use to complete a data mining project. The practice of data mining includes the use of a number of techniques that have been developed to serve as a set of tools in the data miner’s toolbox. In the early days of data mining, many of these tools had to be built (usually in SQL or Perl) and ...
