Data Mining for Beginner 3

[grungefreak1]

Hi,

I am about to embark on my masters degree and it will involve researching Data Mining and the extraction of Business Intelligence.

I downloaded a data set from KDDCup but it's not what I expected at all. I would hope to develop new algorithms for data mining but I need to start from the very beginning to get an in depth knowledge of data mining.

Can anybody recommend any tutorials or books, websites etc that I can research to bring me up to speed?

Hi GF,

While not software, this site has really good guides to datamining methodology and modeling.

Hope this is of some help.

guys,

I am tinkering around with a few topics for my masters (data mining being one of them). I am also very interested in Search Engine Optimization.

Do you think this would be worthy of a 2 years research masters?

Thanks for all the help so far.

I wrote an article on datamining recently. It talks about creation of a data mining application. You may want to check it out as it explains basic concepts and will give you insight on the architecture of a data mining application.
