I have recently been reading several books on data mining which contain a
few data sets. The books offer some perspective on model choices, tuning
decisions, result interpretation. Are there any good resources that can walk me
through the thought process of an experienced data miner with the datasets that
are included for packages such as "rpart"& "kmeans".
"kmeans" is not a package - at least not on CRAN. I guess you are
talking about a kmeans function in anotehr package.
I think you should read two kinds of books: 1. books about the
methodology and 2. book about using R. If you understood both, it is not
too hard to put the two things together.
There is a web page for R related book at http://www.r-project.org/
I currently use MS Access VBA for a bulk of my data manipulation and then use R
Commander and Rattle for my statistical analysis. Thank you.
Many of us will certainly think that neither MS Access VBA nor the R
Commander (the latter is really nice for teaching certain kinds of
non-statistics students) will be used by an experienced data miner.
Best,
