Knowledge Discovery in Spatial Data

More about the book

The exploration of data mining and knowledge discovery reveals that these concepts closely resemble traditional data analysis methods. The excitement around these terms stems from their promise of uncovering valid, novel, and useful patterns in data. However, upon deeper investigation, it becomes clear that the processes involved are not fundamentally different from those in conventional statistics and artificial intelligence. The book critically examines the similarities and distinctions, emphasizing that much of the innovation in data mining aligns with established analytical practices.
