If you have an abundance of data, but no idea what to do with it, this book was written for you! Packed with examples from an array of industries, this introductory text provides you with excellent starting points and practical guidelines to begin data mining today. The author encourages you to think of data mining as a process of exploration rather than as a collection of tools to investigate data.

While there are no right answers for investigating data sets, there are many questions that can be asked to produce meaningful results.
