Cluster analysis comprises a range of methods of classifying multivariate data into subgroups and these techniques are widely applicable. This new edition incorporates material covering developing areas such as Bayesian statistics & neural networks.
Cluster analysis comprises a range of methods for classifying multivariate data into subgroups. By organizing multivariate data into such subgroups, clustering can help reveal the characteristics of any structure or patterns present. These techniques have proven useful in a wide range of areas such as medicine, psychology, market research and bioinformatics. This fifth edition of the highly successful Cluster Analysis includes coverage of the latest developments in the field and a new chapter dealing with finite mixture models for structured data. Real life examples are used throughout to demonstrate the application of the theory, and figures are used extensively to illustrate graphical techniques. The book is comprehensive yet relatively non-mathematical, focusing on the practical aspects of cluster analysis. Key Features: Presents a comprehensive guide to clustering techniques, with focus on the practical aspects of cluster analysis Provides a thorough revision of the fourth edition, including new developments in clustering longitudinal data and examples from bioinformatics and gene studies./li> Updates the chapter on mixture models to include recent developments and presents a new chapter on mixture modeling for structured data Practitioners and researchers working in cluster analysis and data analysis will benefit from this book.
George Meikle Kemp was born in 1795 near Biggar, the son of a shepherd. Working as a carpenter, he studied Gothic architecture in his spare time before entering a competition to design a monument to Sir Walter Scott. Despite his lack of training, his entry was finally selected. He died in unexplaine circumstances, never seeing his masterwork completed. This book charts the difficult journey he made in acquiring what has been described as 'a knowledge of Gothic architecture unrivalled in Scotland' and in creating the familiar landmark, the Scott Monument of Princes Street, Edinburgh, the largest monument to an author in the world and a testament to both his and Scott's work.
