After years of graduate education and even more years of professional experience (with SAS and Microsoft), I still find data mining an awesome and challenging topic. I use this blog to share my best tips and achievements learned sometimes through great struggle. Today, I provide data mining advice to leading companies and industries in the United States and around the world.
