Summary


In this chapter, we discussed data mining using the Excel plugin and HDInsight, Microsoft's Big Data platform on Azure. We also discussed how to get started with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning. Having an idea about other Microsoft products that provide us with the data mining capabilities is beneficial as we can then compare and employ the data mining solution and employ the best-fitting platform for the business and its people.

We will be working with a practical scenario and try to tune the algorithms in the next chapter.
