Author Description

This state-of-the-art data-mining software kit accompanies the book Predictive Data Mining: A Practical Guide. Information from the book is necessary to access the software. If you do not currently own the book, you may wish to look at the book/software package; the book alone is also available. The software, which is delivered through a special web site, is a collection of routines for efficient mining of big data. Both classical and the more computationally expensive state-of-the-art prediction methods are included. Using a standard spreadsheet data format, this kit implements all of the data-mining tasks described in the book. The software is available for Windows 95/NT and Unix.
