Book Reviews Reviews of the book “Data Mining: Concepts, Models, Methods, and Algorithms” (IEEE & John Wiley 2002) are published recently in several prestigious journals: “…By timely publishing of this book, Dr. Kantardzic has provided the technical community with an informative and very readable volume in this fast growing area. The volume is also a very good candidate for a textbook in an introductory data mining course. Not only is it organized in a systematic, pedagogical way, but also provides a number of review questions and problems at the end of each chapter. These should be very helpful for adopters and students alike. In fact, this book may encourage instructors to develop a new course in data mining at the upper undergraduate or at the entry graduate level in engineering and computer science program.” (IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, Vol. 14, No. 2, March 2003). "...a valuable book.... I truly enjoyed reading the book and I am glad to recommend it to anyone working in this fascinating field." (IIE Transactions 2003). "...detailed, well illustrated, and easy to understand...comprehensive…a good book..." (Mathematical Reviews 2003h). "...this is probably the first data-mining book that I would select from my bookshelf as reading material for a statistician..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 3, August 2003). “...clear and well understandable...recommended as basic guidance...practitioners will profit from the author's long experience..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1027, 2004) “...reviews state-of-the-art techniques for analyzing enormous quantities of raw data...” (Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. LXI, No. 3, September 2003) "…this is a comprehensive textbook that describes the process and methodologies of data mining in an unbiased manner…serves as an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to learn about data mining.” (Journal of Proteome Research, May/ June 2003) Reviews of the book “Data Mining: Concepts, Models, Methods, and Algorithms” (IEEE & John Wiley 2002) are published recently in several prestigious journals: "….the book is a highly authoritative, cohesive and timely exposure to the recent developments, application areas and future trends in DM. This is must reading for a wide audience of practitioners and researchers." (Mathematical Reviews, 2006e) "….a vast and comprehensive collection of chapters." (Technometrics, November 2005) "…All the major applications of data mining...are covered in detail from the leaders in the field. I recommend this text to practitioners and researchers alike." (Computing Reviews.com, July 26, 2005) Reviews of the textbook "Data Mining: Concepts, Models, Methods, and Algorithms" (second edition, IEEE & John Wiley, 2011) "…. I therefore gladly salute the second editing of this lovely and valuable book. Researchers, students as well as industry professionals can find the reasons, means and practice to make use of essential data mining methodologies to help their interests." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2012) Based on Google Scholar, the textbook "Data Mining: Concepts, Models, Methods, and Algorithms" (First edition 2002, Second edition 2011, IEEE & John Wiley) has more than 2000 citations, and it is ranked fifth in the number of citations of all data mining books in the world (more than 300 books published by top ranked publishers).
