Summary

This is the first book to take a truly comprehensive look at clustering. It begins with an introduction to cluster analysis and goes on to explore: proximity measures; hierarchical clustering; partition clustering; neural network-based clustering; kernel-based clustering; sequential data clustering; large-scale data clustering; data visualization and high-dimensional data clustering; and cluster validation. The authors assume no previous background in clustering and their generous inclusion o…

Critics Review

“This book provides a comprehensive and thorough presentation of this research area, describing some of the most important clustering algorithms proposed in research literature.” (Computing Reviews, June 2009)

“The book covers a lot of ground in a relatively small number of pages, and should work well as a learning tool and reference.” (Computing Reviews, May 28, 2009)
