If you are curious about data mining, you'll want to read Zardoz's explanation of how he is improving his data mining skills.

In the article, Z mentions an article by Chris Lewis on predicting a toon's class by looking at their items. Of course experienced players can do this in their own heads, but perhaps not with such accuracy. It's an interesting read for the math folks, regardless.

I use the Analysis Studio software (www.appricon.com). It is an easy to use data mining software with 6 regression types (they have an automatic procedure for finding the best regression for a given data set) and other data mining procedures like: Logistic regression, Survival and Time Series analysis.
Thanks. It is good to know what works well from another person's perspective.
