Since actual datasets are employed, users deal with real-life modeling issues and situations such as handling missing values, applying variable transformations, and addressing outliers, among others. An easy-to-learn Microsoft Excel add-in (Predictive MinerXL) and all applicable datasets are available for free on an associated Web site"-- UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9781118279724 ER -
