Highlights:

Provides both theoretical and practical coverage of all data mining topics.
Includes extensive number of integrated examples and figures.
Offers instructor resources including solutions for exercises and complete set of lecture
slides.
Assumes only a modest statistics or mathematics background, and no database
knowledge is needed.
Topics covered include; predictive modeling, association analysis, clustering, anomaly
detection, visualization.
