I've written software which aggregates data from a bunch of different sources, and I would like to improve my knowledge and understanding of data mining techniques. Please recommend some textbooks and resources which you found useful. Thanks!

We use this book for statistical models and data mining, combined with econometric models (GMM, 2LS)

The book "Elements of Statistical Learning" can be downloaded as a free PDF : http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/

It does not discuss "big data" but offers a statistical perspective on machine learning / "data mining" techniques.
