Open-Source Tools for Data Mining in Social Science

Open-source data mining software is completely comparable to commercial programs according to the criteria of functionality and reliability. Moreover, some of them, such as R and Weka, have become the gold standard for industrial applications. According to Rexer's Annual Data Miner Survey in 2010, R has become the data mining tool used by more data miners (43%) than any other (Rexer Analytics, 2010). Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of open source software for educational purposes is completely justified, because students will be able to continue using the same programs after they graduate.
