PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

In the seven years that have passed since the publication of the first edition of this book, the field of data mining has made a good progress both in developing new methodologies and in extending the spectrum of new applications. These changes in data mining motivated me to update my data-mining book with a second edition. Although the core of material in this edition remains the same, the new version of the book attempts to summarize recent developments in our fast-changing field, presenting the state-of-the-art in data mining, both in academic research and in deployment in commercial applications. The most notable changes from the first edition are the addition of

new topics such as ensemble learning, graph mining, temporal, spatial, distributed, and privacy preserving data mining;

new algorithms such as Classification and Regression Trees (CART), Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN), Balanced and Iterative Reducing and Clustering Using Hierarchies (BIRCH), PageRank, AdaBoost, support vector machines (SVM), Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOM), and latent semantic indexing (LSI);

more details on practical aspects and business understanding of a data-mining process, discussing important problems of validation, deployment, data understanding, causality, security, and privacy; and

some quantitative measures and methods for comparison of data-mining models such as ROC curve, lift chart, ROI chart, McNemar’s test, and K-fold cross validation paired t-test.

Keeping in mind the educational aspect of the book, many new exercises have been added. The bibliography and appendices have been
