Excellent post. I want to become data miner. What do you recommend if in my region there are not courses about data mining? Dou you know about a roadmap to study? I have a computer science degree with some certifications in warehousing.
Thanks

@John: Thanks a lot for your comment. I have already started to read your data mining book, which is excellent. I will soon post a review about it on Data Mining Research.

Ha! Great list.
You’ll like my “Top 10 Data Mining Mistakes”. It’s got real-world ways we analysts overdo or over-interpret data. (”Seeing things in clouds”, like your #5 is there, too.)
It’s chapter 20 in Nisbet, Elder, Miner: “Handbook of Statistical Analysis & Data Mining Applications”. (Or, ask SAS, one of the vendors, along with SPSS and STATISTICA, that includes free, limited-time mining software, as they are printing that chapter and giving it away free.)

I say #2 is just it. i am creating a clearcut path for myself, trying to get the real deal with data mining and I have done research in 2 distinct areas so far, but I must say seeking out the domain knowledge can be challenging, but can soon make you an “almost expert” in something you never actually thought of in the first place. I’m so loving data mining for that.
