I'm glad there is a book on this topic. I've been working with QlikView for over a decade now and Tableau for some years. As an operations research analyst, I've been wondering when the field will move on from mainly descriptive analysis (making simple graphs) to more model driven predictive analytics. I've read somewhere that predictive analytics will be the next frontier for visual data discovery products and I can't wait. I just started the book but from the Table of Contents and it looks like the book does not gloss over technical topics and I'm glad to see a section on Validation which I have never really seen addressed anywhere. I would recommend a solid background in math as a prerequisite and recommended but not critically required, a background in R and QlikSense.

I was waiting for this book since January 2015. Firtst i thought it will be one of the books about Qlik. However Rattle aspect is a strong root in here. I have enjoyed reading this book and i have discover a lot new things. I am glad it is not one of those books, where there is nothing new but release date. Definitelly there is no other book like that on the market and i can strongly recommend buying it. Nice one!

I enjoyed reading through the book, especially the part where the rules derived in a classification tree could be translated into simple if else rules in Qlikview/Qlik sense, along with a thorough walk through on rattle options. However, I have also worked with Qlikview/Qlik sense extensions in the past, and I know direct webservice interaction (Qlik sense or Qlikview) or VB script Rcom interaction (Qlikview) could be built for interactive R exploration, so the book can be enhanced to include the extensions topic. Still, a good book to give an overview of rattle and the way it can be used in Qlik - hence recommend it as a nice read.

I did not see the book when it came out, but found it repackaged by Packt within "Qlik Sense: Advanced Data Visualization for Your Organization" two years later. I am not impressed. It's a poor statistics book ("supported vector machines", really?), it's a poor Rattle book - compare to Graham Williams's "R and Rattle" - and it's a poor Qlik Sense book. Qlik Sense content is actually minimal: most of the time, you work in Rattle, and occasionally (2-3 times?) dump output to text files for visualization with Qlik Sense. You might as well use Excel. A review which mentions Qlik Sense extensions misses the point: there is no Qlik-Sense-and-Rattle and integration going on except manual one.
