PhD student reading list, suggestions wanted
From: Ko-Kang Kevin Wang Hi,
-----Original Message----- But above all, I would like her to use R whenever it's appropriate. We have MASS and Dalgaard's introductory book in the
library here, I'm
aware of "S Poetry", but what do you think would be the
best start for
someone learning R in order to use it for doing data mining?
Not specifically for R, but a must-have for anyone going into data mining area is "The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction", by Hastie et. al.
I would add BDR's 1996 Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks, and FEH's 2002 Regression Modeling Strategies. Even though Prof. Harrell's book is not strictly about data mining, it has lots of things that dataminers need to know about, or at least be aware of, IMHO. Andy
