I want to learn data mining for my new job.

We have a lot of data that we want to analyse.

The data is provided by a customer.

I want good data mining books to learn how to choose data mining algorithms and design algorithms.

Thanks

Hi,

A few good books:

Introduction to data mining by Kumar et al. (easy to understand, good introduction)

Data Mining Concept and techniques (covers many topics, but does not go in details).

There are also many books on specialized topics like social network mining, recommender systems, etc. etc.
