Final Essay - Hunter Rose Myers

In my final essay, I chose the topic of data mining. My essay is titled Covertly Clandestine because data mining is a form of unraveling hidden secrets. I begin my essay by providing background information on the subject of data mining, as well as discussing researchers who have made both negative and positive comments about data mining. For the empirical research section, I chose to data mine song lyrics written by Beatles members John Lennon and Paul McCartney. I did this in order to compare the two artists and find out what word frequencies can reveal about popular music. Enjoy.
