In addition, the amount of data collected and warehoused in all industries is growing every year at a phenomenal rate. Nevertheless, our ability to discover critical, non-obvious nuggets of useful information in data that could influence or help in the decision making process, is still limited. \u003cbr\u003e Knowledge discovery (KDD) and Data Mining (DM) is a new, multidisciplinary field that focuses on the overall process of information discovery from large volumes of data. The field combines database concepts and theory, machine learning, pattern recognition, statistics, artificial intelligence, uncertainty management, and high-performance computing. \u003cbr\u003e To remain competitive, businesses must apply data mining techniques such as classification, prediction, and clustering using tools such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, and decision trees to facilitate making strategic decisions on a daily basis. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eKnowledge Discovery for Business Information Systems\u003c\/em\u003e contains a collection of 16 high quality articles written by experts in the KDD and DM field from the following countries: Austria, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China (Hong Kong), Estonia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, Singapore and USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Witold Abramowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475774753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475774757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.91d","brand":"Witold Abramowicz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436729610495,"sku":"9781475774757","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a814a4b-1807-468d-959e-d6e7de4dbbaf.jpg?v=1777157396","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowledge-discovery-for-business-information-witold-abramowicz-9781475774757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
