Are you referring to the Data Mining book by Witten et al? If yes, then you can purchase it from bookstores or online retailers like Amazon.

Cheers, Peter

Have you looked at the "course material" section?

I missed the link to the excerpts too. Under Course Material, click the link "Excerpts from Data Mining, by Ian H. Witten, Eibe Frank and Mark A. Hall" ... Then click the banner for FREE ACCESS.

It looks to me like Elsevier changed their base website address to elsevier.com and that old link no longer lands us on a Data Mining page, it leaves us on the Elsevier home page. Can you please help? Many thanks for this course!

changes on the Elsevier side have meant we are no longer offering this feature.
We have replaced it with a link to the newer Weka Workbench tutorial:

Thank you.

I decide to buy what I thought was the full text on Amazon, "Fourth Edition, Data Mining, Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques" by Witten et al. It has an owl on the front. The videos refer to chapter 6 in class 4 of the first class. But there is no Ch 17 in this text I bought. Is there another version of this text that I need?

The fourth (owl) edition, which was published recently, is definitely the one to buy: it is expanded and somewhat re-organized, with very significant new material.

All the material from Chapter 6 in the third edition is there in the new edition, spread over Chapters 6 and 7.

An updated version of what used to be Part III, The Weka Data Mining Workbench, is now freely available as an “online appendix” to the new edition, at http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/Witten_et_al_2016_appendix.pdf. However, the old Chapter 17 “Tutorial Exercises for the Weka Explorer”, has been deleted from this Appendix because it is superseded by the online courses — which are very much better! But you’re right, I make a passing reference to it at the end of Lesson 4.1. Looking at it now, that old material doesn’t add anything to what’s in Lesson 4.1, and I now regret making that reference.

So, in summary, you’re very much better off with the new (owl) edition of the book. Enjoy!

cheers
ian
