Kurzbeschreibung
Written by two of the best-known experts in the field, Clustering is the only thoroughly comprehensive text on the subject currently available. The book looks at the full range of clustering and provides enough detail to allow users to select the method that best fits their application. A generous use of examples and references make the subject matter clear for readers of different levels, including graduate students, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians.
