Infos

This is the first book to take a truly comprehensive look at clustering. It begins with an introduction to cluster analysis and goes on to explore: proximity measures; hierarchical clustering; partition clustering; neural network-based clustering; kernel-based clustering; sequential data clustering; large-scale data clustering; data visualization and high-dimensional data clustering; and cluster validation. The authors assume no previous background in clustering and their generous inclusion of examples and references help make the subject matter comprehensible for readers of varying levels and backgrounds.

Rezensionen

"This book provides a comprehensive and thorough presentation
of this research area, describing some of the most important
clustering algorithms proposed in research literature."
(Computing Reviews, June 2009)

"The book covers a lot of ground in a relatively small number of
pages, and should work well as a learning tool and reference."
(Computing Reviews, May 28, 2009)
