Acknowledgments

The author would like to thank the faculty and students of the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University. It was their testing of the VisMiner software and feedback for drafts of this book that has brought it to fruition. In particular, Dr. Jim Hansen and Dr. Douglas Dean have made extraordinary efforts to incorporate both the software and the drafts in their data mining courses over the past three years.

In developing and refining VisMiner, Daniel Link, now a PhD student at the University of Southern California, made significant contributions to the visualization components. Dr. Musa Jafar, West Texas A&M University provided valuable feedback and suggestions.

Finally, thanks go to Charmaine Anderson and Ryan Anderson who provided editorial support during the initial draft preparation.
