Documentation

This wiki is not the only source of information on the Weka software. Weka comes with built-in help and includes a comprehensive manual. For an introduction to the machine learning techniques implemented in Weka, and the software itself, consider taking a look at the book Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques and its freely available online appendix on the Weka workbench, providing an overview of the software. Closely linked to the book, there are also free online courses on data mining with the machine learning techniques in Weka. A list of sources with information on Weka is provided below.
