Textbook

The text for the class is:

• Hastie, T., Tibshirani, R., and Friedman, J. The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction, Springer, 2001.

It should be available in the bookstore. A few other useful references are:

• Mitchell, T. M., Machine Learning, McGraw-Hill, 1997.
• Sutton, R. and Barto, A., Reinforcement Learning, MIT Press, 1998.
• Hand, D., Mannila, H., and Smyth, P., Principles of Data Mining, MIT Press, 2001.

I will attempt to make these available on reserve at the library, and may also be able to make electronic excerpts available as well.
