Recensioner i media

"...a mandatory volume for anyone who runs data mining projects, since all the steps and most important details that should not be forgotten are described here...I strongly recommend this book for anyone even slightly involved with data mining projects." --IEEE Communications Magazine, Commercial Data Mining"I strongly disagree with Bellin’s statement that the book will not help practitioners, and one can only conclude that the reviewer is not familiar with what data mining practitioners need." -Computing Reviews, Oct 13, 2014
