Thanks to the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) for an environment that provided me the time and resources to write this book. Thanks to Dr. Daniel Larose, Director of the Data Mining Program at CCSU, for encouraging me to develop Stat 527, an introductory course on text mining.

Some of the ideas in chapters 2, 3, and 5 arose as I developed and taught text mining examples for Stat 527. Thanks to Kathy Albers, Judy Spomer, and Don Wedding for taking independent studies on text mining, which helped to develop this class. Thanks again to Judy Spomer for comments on a draft of chapter 2.

Thanks to Gary Buckles and Gina Patacca for their hospitality over the years. In particular, my visits to The Ohio State University’s libraries would have been much less enjoyable if not for them.

Thanks to Dr. Edward Force for reading the section on text mining German. Thanks to Dr. Krishna Saha for reading over my R code and giving suggestions for improvement. Thanks to Dr. Nell Smith and David LaPierre for reading the entire manuscript and making valuable suggestions on it.

Thanks to Paul Petralia, senior editor at Wiley Interscience who let me write the book that I wanted to write.
