Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) 3rd Edition

This is a robust and practical book explaining concept of data mining. I bought this as a textbook for Data Mining class at a grad school. Some chapters require quantitative background but in general it is relatively easy to read.

The books is very well written and explains the concepts in a very simple manner. It covers all the algorithms with good examples. A must for a person who wants to learn the concepts of data mining.

Overall a decent book for begininers like myself.Pros:- Historical laydown- In depth discussion on subject matter- Plenty of examples and problems to work throughCons:- In the examples it kinda jumps from SQL to others. Wish the author would have picked something and rolled with it. I understand the benefits of discussion multiple options, but that's just my personal preference.- A little dry and hard to read for a long period of time. I had to take breaks every 10-20 min and look at something else.

This is a great book for who is starting at data mining.It gives us a solid concept definition about data mining concepts, and common techniques.If you are willing to buy a theoretical book about data mining, this is the one.

Needless to say, this is a classic book for data mining.It presents an extraordinary clear flow of materials. The essences of the difficult and challenging research publications are extractedand transformed into a domain even novice could catch the points.For practitioner who wish to get quick and broad-based overview, this book is for you.For students who are going to do research in this area, this is probably the place you should embark

The book is in an excellent state 👌

I ordered this book and waited for a long time, until It finally arrived . I bought t a new book but it seems to be a used one there is a scratch on its edge and some pages are twisted.

As an experienced software engineer doing his first steps in the field of Data Mining, this book proved very useful in introducing the jargon, the basic concepts and the methods used in the field of Data Mining.The book is easy to read, filled with examples, and provides a comfortably paced (some would say slow) introduction to any mathematical / computational concepts required to understand any given subject.There book is lengthy, so it takes time to go over all the chapters. In addition, some more specialized concepts (such as data mining streams and social networks) are provided for free at the publisher's web-site.All in all - a good book for those who want a solid introduction to the field of Data Mining.
