The book does not assume any prior knowledge about R. Readers who are new to R and data mining should be able to follow the case studies, and they are designed to be self-contained so the reader can start anywhere in the document.
The book is accompanied by a set of freely available R source files that can be obtained at the book?s web site. These files include all the code used in the case studies, and they facilitate the ?do-it-yourself? approach followed in the book.
Designed for users of data analysis tools, as well as researchers and developers, the book should be useful for anyone interested in entering the ?world? of R and data mining.
