Free online data mining books

For the interested reader, there are several data mining books available online for free. I appose some of them below:

• Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, by Jiawei Han and Micheline Kamber
• Data Mining: Introductory and Advanced Topics by Margaret Dunham
• Data Mining for the coorporate masses, by Neal Leavitt

• Mining of Massive Datasets by Anand Rajaraman, Jure Leskovec and Jeffrey D. Ullman.

The emphasis in the book by Rajanaman, Leskovec and Ullman is on mining of very large amounts of data, i.e., data that do not fit in main memory. WWW is a source of such data and it is used quite often as an example in this book.

Below is the table of contents:

1. Data Mining
2. Large-Scale File Systems and Map-Reduce
3. Finding Similar Items
4. Mining Data Streams
5. Link Analysis
6. Frequent Itemsets
7. Clustering
8. Advertising on the Web
9. Recommendation Systems
10. Mining Social-Network Graphs
