Ebook: Information Systems and Data Analysis: Prospects — Foundations — Applications

The subject of this book is the analysis and processing of structural information or quantitative data, with a special emphasis on classification-related problems and methods.
Various different approaches are presented including theoretical, statistical, structural, mathematical, conceptual, linguistic and computational aspects.
These methodological investigations are completed by illustrative applications from practice, originating from quite different fields such as artificial intelligence, computer science, data bases, libraries, knowledge-based systems, medical diagnostics, molecular biology and genome analysis, multivariate statistics, marketing, sociology, biological taxonomy, archeology.
