There are many invaluable books available on data mining theory and applications. However, in compiling a volume titled "DATA MINING: Foundations and Intelligent Paradigms: Volume 2: Core Topics including Statistical, Time-Series and Bayesian Analysis" we wish to introduce some of the latest developments to a broad audience of both specialists and non-specialists in this field.
