Abstract
New ideas are often most effectively understood and appreciated by actually doing something with them. So it is with data mining. Fundamentally, data mining is about practical application—application of the algorithms developed by researchers in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, and statistics. This chapter is about getting started with data mining.
