The field of data mining lies at the confluence of statistical analysis, machine learning and business intelligence. However, nearly all the books published so far have been restricted solely to a single one of these areas, usually either machine learning or business intelligence. This book benefits students, instructors, researchers, and managers by introducing them to the three streams of knowledge that comprise data mining. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Discovering Knowledge in Data : An Introduction to Data Mining (Daniel T. Larose)
