APPLIED PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
This book is amazing! The author clearly knows what he is talking about. In addition to describing the typical concepts, he actually teaches you when to use them, something not many other books do.

APPLIED PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
This groundbreaking contribution to the field of predictive analytics delivers a unique gift...The book is extremely practical. It is mostly organized around project execution steps, rather than around analytical methods, application areas, or industry verticals.

APPLIED PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
This book takes a unique, and badly needed, approach to the subject. It is a “how-to” without being a software book. Too many software instruction books focus so much on features and functions that you lose sight of the big picture. Also, too many data mining books focus solely on algorithms – often one chapter per algorithm. While many of those books are good, and necessary, there are plenty of them already.
