Summary: Content is good, but source code contains errors!
Review: This book covers the topic of data preparation very thoroughly.However, it includes source code that won't compile. The book comes up short in referencing the source code that is included on the CD to the various methods that are described in the book. If you don't care about the source code, the book is good. But, if you're a programmer as I am, you expect the source code to work!

Summary: The true data miner toolkit
Review: This book is simply great, it provides the best practices about the essence of data mining : data preparation Any analyst knows that 80% of data mining time is spent in data preparation, nevertheless most authors focus on the remaining 20% : techniques and tools, where the value is more "visible" The truth is that this value is unavaillable, unless you get data prepared, and that's the difficult job Dorian book's allows you to understand this obscure process through a great analytical process. Strongly recommended
