Ebook: Conceptual and Numerical Analysis of Data: Proceedings of the 13th Conference of the Gesellschaft für Klassifikation e. V., University of Augsburg, April 10–12, 1989

The 13th conference of the Gesellschaft fUr Klassifikation e. V. took place at the Universitat Augsburg from April 10 to 12, 1989, with the' local organization by the Lehrstuhl fUr Mathematische Me­ thoden der Wirtschaftswissenschaften. The wide ranged subject of the conference Conceptual and Numerical Analysis of Data was obliged to indicate the variety of the concepts of data and information as well as the manifold methods of analysing and structuring. Based on the received announcements of papers four sections have been arranged: 1. Data Analysis and Classification: Basic Concepts and Methods 2. Applications in Library Sciences, Documentation and Information Sciences 3. Applications in Economics and Social Sciences 4. Applications in Natural Sciences and Computer Sciences This classification doesn't separate strictly, but it shows that theo­ retic and applying researchers of most different disciplines were disposed to present a paper. In 60 survey and special lectures the speakers reported on developments in theory and applications en­ couraging the interdisciplinary dialogue of all participants. This volume contains 42 selected papers grouped according to the four sections. Now we give a short insight into the presented papers. x Several problems of concept analysis, cluster analysis, data analysis and multivariate statistics are considered in 18 pa­ pers of section 1. The geometric representation of a concept lattice is a collection of figures in the plane corresponding to the given concepts in such a way that the subconcept-superconcept-relation corresponds to the containment relation between the figures.

The wide ranged subject "Conceptual and Numerical Analysis of Data" is obliged to indicate the variety of the concept of data and information as well as the manifold methods of analysing and structuring. This volume is subdivided into four sections: 1) Data Analysis and Classification: Basic Concepts and Methods 2) Applications in Library Sciences, Documentation and Information Sciences 3) Applications in Economics and Social Sciences 4) Applications in Natural Sciences and Computer Sciences. Section 1 contains 18 papers concerning concept analysis, cluster analysis, data analysis and multivariate statistics. The broad spectrum of 7 papers appointed to section 2 extends from applications of data analysis and concepts in information sciences to applications in terminology and humanities. The importance of data analysis for many questions of economics and social sciences becomes evident in section 3. This section consists of 10 papers dealing with problems of marketing research, decision making, computer-based decision support as well as problems of socioeconomics and macroeconomics. Finally, section 4 is composed to 4 papers on sequence analysis and phylogenetic trees and 3 papers on computer science.
