Acknowledgments
Many people deserve credit for assisting me in getting this book written. Thanks to my colleagues at Teradata, SAS, and the International Institute for Analytics, who encouraged me to write this, as well as to the authors I know who helped me to understand what I was getting into.
I also owe a big thanks to the people who volunteered to review and provide input on the book as I developed it. Reading hundreds of pages of rough drafts isn’t exactly a party! Thanks for the great input that helped me tune the flow and message.
A last thanks goes to all of the analytic professionals, business professionals, and IT professionals who I have worked with over the years. You have all helped me learn and apply the concepts in this book. Without getting a chance to see these concepts in action in real situations, it wouldn’t have been possible to write about them.
