Great book about data and Data Mining
The book "Data Preparation for Data Mining" is not a common Data Mining book. Nowdays a classical Data Mining book contains a metodology how to solve class of standard problems. This means more a set of prescriptions and receipts for elaborating various solutions to customer loyality, retention etc.
The book by Dorian Pyle is different.It is not a Data Mining book, because as the authors claims, Data Mining is only a part of wider subject, which he calls Data Exploration. He shows us wider spectrum of various subjects considering data than you can find in other books. He gives us a good background that helps to recognize the source of problems with data. Some subjects are not to find in other sources. They come directly from author's reach experience. To summarise - the autor of the book managed to describe the whole subject area considering data, that is not to find in other books on this topics. To achive that knowledge we should read many other publications from different areas.
