Are you a data mining analyst, like many, that spends up to 80% of your time on 

assuring data quality and preparing that data for developing and deploying 

predictive models? And do you find lots of literature on data mining theory and 

concepts, but when it comes to practical advice on developing good mining views 

find little \"how to\" information? And are you, like most analysts, preparing the 

data in SAS?



This book is intended to fill this gap as your source of practical recipes. It 

introduces a framework for the process of data preparation for data mining, and 

presents the detailed implementation of each step in SAS. In addition, business 

applications of data mining modeling require you to deal with a large number of 

variables, typically hundreds if not thousands. Therefore, the book devotes 

several chapters to the methods of data transformation and variable selection.



FEATURES

• A complete framework for the data preparation process,including implementation 

  details for each step.

• The complete SAS implementation code, which is readily usable by professional 

  analysts and data miners;

• A unique and comprehensive approach for the treatment of missing values, 

  optimal binning, and cardinality reduction;

• Assumes minimal proficiency in SAS and includes a quick-start chapter on 

  writing SAS macros.
