Data Mining presentations at SUGI

This is a handy collection -the SAS Data Mining group presentations from SUGI meetings are posted at http://www.lexjansen.com/cgi-bin/xsl_transform.php?x=sdm&s=sugi_s&c=sugi

These include summary papers for applications that would be good to share with consulting clients ( for example, there was on one regression assumptions and problem with predictive modeling). There was also a paper on applying the Google page-rank to football teams! Definitely worth browsing. Best-paper awardees are clearly indicated as well.
