Book Description

Implement cutting-edge data-mining aspects in Weka to your applications

  • Learn something new in an Instant! A short, fast, focused guide delivering immediate results
  • A practical guide with examples and applications of programming Weka in Java
  • Start with the basics and dive deeper into the more advanced aspects of Weka
  • Learn how to include Weka’s machinery in your Java application

In Detail

Data mining has become one of the hottest topics in computer science, mainly due to the vast amounts of data in diverse applications such as market basket analysis, reactive business intelligence, human genome sequence mining, speech recognition, document search, and spam detection.

Instant Weka How-to shows you exactly how to include Weka’s machinery in your Java application to stay ahead by implementing cutting-edge data-mining aspects such as regression and classification, and then moving on to more advanced applications of forecasting, decision making, and recommendations.

This book shows you exactly how to include Weka’s machinery in your Java application. The book starts by importing and preparing the data, and then moves on to more serious topics on classification, regression, clustering, and evaluation. For those of you who are eager to dive deeper, this book shows you how to implement online learning or how to create your own classifier. The book includes several application examples such as house price prediction, stock value forecasting, and decision making for direct marketing.
