IVOA KDD-IG: A user guide for Data Mining in Astronomy

8: Links: Books, papers, websites

There are of course a huge number of books, papers, and websites about data mining. This section does not aim to exhaustively list everything, but to point to some of those that are most useful for astronomy. We therefore simply list each section in alphabetical order by author, or URL.
