Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, Second Edition Review by Daniel Sionov
Dissapointed
I'm about 1/2 way through the book and do intend to finish it. However, I must say, this is very tough reading. I think the author tries not to use a lot of math and algorithmic speak but ends up using descriptions that aren't very clear or easy to follow.
Plus, this book really does require a background in this topic. Perhaps a few books as pre-requisites would make this material easier to understand.
The author separates the more math intensive stuff in paragraphs marked as optional but to be honest, these are the sections that I found easier to understand.
Anyway, I really wanted to like this book. But unfortunately, I did not.
