This review is from: The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction (Hardcover)
I was already familiar with many of the topics covered in this book, but had to do a double take when reading about familiar concepts. Unfortunately, the authors' unique perspective is not presented in a way that is benificial to the reader. I would strongly suggest another book as a reference or introduction to this material.
