Hi folks,

I just have stumbled upon a very nice step-by-step introduction to RapidMiner written by Dr. Scott Turner which has been published as a guest post on the blog The Number Crunching Life . Dr. Scott Turner won the Machine March Madness prediction contest last year, and who was the co-winner of the Sweet 16 contest from two years ago. Check out his great blog all about algorithmic prediction of NCAA basketball.

So if you are learning to work with RapidMiner right now or know somebody who just have started, this post definitely might be interesting to you:

Have fun reading this introduction!
