In addition, the amount of data  collected and warehoused in all industries is growing every year at a  phenomenal rate. Nevertheless, our ability to discover critical,  non-obvious nuggets of useful information in data that could influence  or help in the decision making process, is still limited. \u003cbr\u003e  Knowledge discovery (KDD) and Data Mining (DM) is a new,  multidisciplinary field that focuses on the overall process of  information discovery from large volumes of data. The field combines  database concepts and theory, machine learning, pattern recognition,  statistics, artificial intelligence, uncertainty management, and  high-performance computing. \u003cbr\u003e  To remain competitive, businesses must apply data mining techniques  such as classification, prediction, and clustering using tools such as  neural networks, fuzzy logic, and decision trees to facilitate making  strategic decisions on a daily basis. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eKnowledge Discovery for Business Information Systems\u003c\/em\u003e contains a  collection of 16 high quality articles written by experts in the KDD  and DM field from the following countries: Austria, Australia,  Bulgaria, Canada, China (Hong Kong), Estonia, Denmark, Germany, Italy,  Poland, Singapore and USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-04-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781475774757\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b116447\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 432\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578436411532,"sku":"9781475774757","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781475774757.jpg?v=1770782038","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781475774757","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
