Making sense of data II: a practical guide to data visualization, advanced data mining methods, and applications

Abstract

A Practical Guide to Data Visualization, Advanced Data Mining Methods, and Applications had me excited with the title, but let me down with dry content and uninteresting data.The book does a good job of summarizing the range of techniques used in modern data mining, but there is too much focus on describing each procedure, and too little focus on why you should use each one and how you can interpret the results.
