Bad print
Had to return this one. Disappointed. A dud. 100+ pages could not be read because the printing was bad (offset, double)

A business centric overview of Predictive Analytics
A business centric overview of Predictive Analytics. Don't buy this book if you are expecting an in depth explanation of the most popular machine learning algorithms and tools. Do buy this if you want to know how predicitive analytics can be used to solve business problems, how to fit it into your business pipeline, and also for a very high level (but extremely useful) overview of all the algorithms and tools used in the field. Let's be honest, most people don't need to understand the proofs and low level maths that go into all these algorithms unless you want to pursue reasearch in the field. Do you need an understanding of all the low level code and hardware that makes up your phone in order for it to bring value to your life? If you're looking for a primer into this field, you've found the correct book. If you're looking for all the maths and proofs that make predicitive analytics work, you're already fighting an uphill battle by looking for that in a single book.
