Description
Book SynopsisPresents the latest techniques for analyzing and extracting information from large amounts of data in high-dimensional data spaces
The revised and updated third edition of Data Mining contains in one volume an introduction to a systematic approach to the analysis of large data sets that integrates results from disciplines such as statistics, artificial intelligence, data bases, pattern recognition, and computer visualization. Advances in deep learning technology have opened an entire new spectrum of applications. The authora noted expert on the topicexplains the basic concepts, models, and methodologies that have been developed in recent years.
This new edition introduces and expands on many topics, as well as providing revised sections on software tools and data mining applications. Additional changes include an updated list of references for further study, and an extended list of problems and questions that relate to each chapter.This third edition pres
