Data Preparation For Data Mining Description: Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your data, the return on the resources invested in mining is certain to be disappointing.Dorian Pyle corrects this imbalance. A twenty-five-year veteran of what has become the data mining industry, Pyle shares his own successful data preparation methodology, offering both a conceptual overview for managers and complete technical details for IT professionals. Apply his techniques and watch your mining efforts pay off-in the form of improved performance, reduced distortion, and more valuable results.On the enclosed CD-ROM, you`ll find a suite of programs as C source code and compiled into a command-line-driven toolkit. This code illustrates how the author`s techniques can be applied to arrive at an automated preparation solution that works for you. Also included are demonstration versions of three commercial products that help with data preparation, along with sample data with which you can practice and experiment. Offers in-depth coverage of an essential but largely ignored subject. Goes far beyond theory, leading you-step by step-through the author`s own data preparation techniques. Provides practical illustrations of the author`s methodology using realistic sample data sets. Includes algorithms you can apply directly to your own project, along with instructions for understanding when automation is possible and when greater intervention is required. Explains how to identify and correct data problems that may be present in your application. Prepares miners, helping them head into preparation with a better understanding of data sets and their limitations....

Leveraging Wmi Scripting Description: Leveraging WMI Scripting is the second in a series of two books dedicated to WMI. Understanding WMI Scripting (ISBN 1-55558-266-4), Lissoir`s first book, explained to Windows Administrators the various WMI scripting techniques and manageability capabilities of this new Windows Server 2003 platform. Illustrated with hundreds of scripts and detailed tables, the book explained the underlying technology and how WMI can be put to work. Lissoir focused not only on WMI programming aspects for developers but on how administrators can use what is available in Windows for their admin work. If you`ve had significant WMI experience, or have read Lissoir`s first book, you are ready to apply your WMI knowledge to any technology that interfaces with WMI.

Lissoir offers a structured description of the most important WMI providers available from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 (including Windows 2000 and Windows XP). This covers the WMI management of the Windows Registry, Active Directory, SNMP, the Resultant Set Of Policies (RSOP), and the Volume Shadow Service to name a few. This discussion leverages the information on building real-world scripted management solutions presented in Lissoir`s first book. Like the first volume, Leveraging WMI Scripting is based on an important concept: learning by practice. Leveraging WMI Scripting addresses the most advanced topics so that you can exploit the features of various WMI interfaces to manage the components in a real-world environment. WMI is a critical topic under Windows Server 2003, so this book provides real added value to every Windows administrator.Shows you how to extract data from applications, understand what`s really happening on your servers, and get real work done Provides hundreds of usable sc...
