This makes it easy to believe that we can now - at least in principle - solve any problem we are faced with so long as we only have enough data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet this is not the case. Although large databases allow us to retrieve many different single pieces of information and to compute simple aggregations, general patterns and regularities often go undetected. Furthermore, it is exactly these patterns, regularities and trends that are often most valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo avoid the danger of \"drowning in information, but starving for knowledge\" the branch of research known as data analysis has emerged, and a considerable number of methods and software tools have been developed. However, it is not these tools alone but the intelligent application of human intuition in combination with computational power, of sound background knowledge with computer-aided modeling, and of critical reflection with convenient automatic model construction, that results in successful intelligent data analysis projects. \u003cem\u003eGuide to Intelligent Data Analysis \u003c\/em\u003eprovides a hands-on instructional approach to many basic data analysis techniques, and explains how these are used to solve data analysis problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopics and features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuides the reader through the process of data analysis, following the interdependent steps of project understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, and deployment and monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEquips the reader with the necessary information in order to obtain hands-on experience of the topics under discussion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a review of the basics of classical statistics that support and justify many data analysis methods, and a glossary of statistical terms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous examples using R and KNIME, together with appendices introducing the open source software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates illustrations and case-study-style examples to support pedagogical exposition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupplies further tools and information at the associated website: http: \/\/www.idaguide.net\/\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis practical and systematic textbook\/reference for graduate and advanced undergraduate students is also essential reading for all professionals who face data analysis problems.
