Review title: Not Algorithmic Data Mining
Product review: SAS is not the best system for data mining to begin with. R (or S-plus) seems to provide a much stronger framework and packages for Classification and Regression Trees, Random Forests, Neural Networks etc. SAS cannot really do any of these with the base system.All of the techniques covered in this book are fairly standard statistical techniques that don't really match with what I consider data mining to be (i.e. regression, principal component analysis, discrimination analysis). There are better texts for these techniques that cover both the theory and code more indepth.
