About this title

Synopsis

The subject of classification is concerned with extracting and summarizing information from multivariate data sets. With the growth in size of data sets that are recorded and stored electronically, such methodology is becoming increasingly important. In this 2nd edition of Classification, clustering and graphical methods of representing data are described in detail. The book also gives advice on ways to decide on the relevant methods of analysis for different data sets. The book is a substantial revision of the earlier edition, and provides an overview of many recent methodological developments in the subject. Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in classification, cluster analysis, and multivariate analysis will find this a useful text. The book will be invaluable to researchers in many disciplines who are analyzing data.
