Data Mining with Rattle and R The Art of Excavating Data for Knowledge Discovery

From the book reviews:

“The text does a great job of showing how to do each step using the data mining tool Rattle and related R concepts as appropriate. This makes it a great tool for someone who does not know much about R and wants to learn more about the powerful options available in R for data mining.” (Roger M. Sauter, Technometrics, Vol. 54 (3), August, 2012)

“This text is a manual for the impressive Rattle graphical user interface (GUI) for R, describing both the use of the GUI and the R code that is invoked to carry out the computations. … Data analysts … are likely to find Rattle a helpful tool that will allow them to quickly become productive with R. … There is extensive useful practical advice on data preparation and data manipulation. … is well suited for use in intermediate level courses on regression or classification.” (John H. Maindonald, International Statistical Review, Vol. 80 (1), 2012)
