Practical Applications of Data Mining

Preface

Data mining is a rapidly emerging concept in the area of computational intel-

ligence. It is rather new and intellectually stimulating, whereas its applications

are diverse, advanced, and practical.

This book presents practical issues in the design and implementation of

data mining systems. A practical approach is adhered to such that the concepts

and techniques presented can be applied not only to the examples in the

book, but also to many of the real-world data mining applications. It provides

a highly readable and systematic exposition of the fundamental concepts of

data mining with a coherent presentation of practical design examples. ...
