Data mining has emerged as one of the most active areas in information and c- munication technologies(ICT). With the boomingof the global economy, and ub- uitouscomputingandnetworkingacrosseverysectorand business, data andits deep analysis becomes a particularly important issue for enhancing the soft power of an organization, its production systems, decision-making and performance. The last ten years have seen ever-increasingapplications of data mining in business, gove- ment, social networks and the like. However, a crucial problem that prevents data mining from playing a strategic decision-support role in ICT is its usually limited decision-support power in the real world. Typical concerns include its actionability, workability, transferability, and the trustworthy, dependable, repeatable, operable and explainable capabilities of data mining algorithms, tools and outputs. This monograph, Domain Driven Data Mining, is motivated by the real-world challenges to and complexities of the current KDD methodologies and techniques, which are critical issues faced by data mining, as well as the ?ndings, thoughts and lessons learned in conducting several large-scale real-world data mining bu- ness applications. The aim and objective of domain driven data mining is to study effective and ef?cient methodologies, techniques, tools, and applications that can discover and deliver actionable knowledge that can be passed on to business people for direct decision-making and action-takin

There is often a large number of association rules discovered in data mining practice, making it difficult for users to identify those that are of particular interest to them. Therefore, it is important to remove insignificant rules and prune redundancy as well as summarize, visualize, and post-mine the discovered rules. Post-Mining of Association Rules: Techniques for Effective Knowledge Extraction provides a systematic collection on post-mining, summarization and presentation of association rules, and new forms of association rules. This book presents researchers, practitioners, and academicians with tools to extract useful and actionable knowledge after discovering a large number of association rules.

"R and Data Mining "introduces researchers, post-graduate students, and analysts to data mining using R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The book provides practical methods for using R in applications from academia to industry to extract knowledge from vast amounts of data. Readers will find this book a valuable guide to the use of R in tasks such as classification and prediction, clustering, outlier detection, association rules, sequence analysis, text mining, social network analysis, sentiment analysis, and more.

Data mining techniques are growing in popularity in a broad range of areas, from banking to insurance, retail, telecom, medicine, research, and government. This book focuses on the modeling phase of the data mining process, also addressing data exploration and model evaluation.

With three in-depth case studies, a quick reference guide, bibliography, and links to a wealth of online resources, "R and Data Mining" is a valuable, practical guide to a powerful method of analysis.
Presents an introduction into using R for data mining applications, covering most popular data mining techniquesProvides code examples and data so that readers can easily learn the techniquesFeatures case studies in real-world applicationsto help readers apply the techniques in their work"
