Descriptive Data Mining by David L Olson

This book provides an overview of data mining methods demonstrated by software. Chapter 3 covers fundamentals of market basket analysis, and Chapter 4 provides demonstration of RFM modeling, a basic marketing data mining tool.

“The book is direct and easy to read, explaining how methods work without in-depth scholarly references… this is a suitable book for data mining newcomers who are not interested in a theoretical understanding of the algorithms. … the book could be used as a course resource.” (Evangelia Kavakli, Computing Reviews, November 2, 2020)
