Decision Trees for Analytics Using SAS Enterprise Miner

This book is written by two knowledgeable and experienced professionals versed in Decision Trees applications and technology. There is considerable information about the approach's history, strengths, limitations, and variations. It treats with balance the variety of technical choices and approaches to be considered in adopting decision tree technology. It provides wisdom and is a fine book to have if you are going to adopt the approach for a bona fide application. By using SAS Enterprise Miner software, the book provides the reader with a technical overview that is broader than that which is available from other software vendors.What are missing, however, are chapters that provide a clear step by step guide to building, running, and interpreting a decision tree model, and to making the myriad selections of technical options necessary to succeed with the SAS software. Although there is elementary documentation about decision trees available from SAS, as well as a SAS help file for Enterprise Miner, no published material exists yet that permits a potential user to gain expertise in applying decision tree software.

Really nice, good price

A very good position about decision trees. On illustrated decision trees information on nodes seem to be like on earlier versions of SAS EM than SAS EM 12.2 or later.

Very nice book
