Opis

This book provides a detailed account on some of the newest methods for dealing with directional data. Directional data naturally arises in diverse domains such as earth sciences (in particular geology), meteorology, astronomy, studies of animal behavior, image analysis, neurosciences, medicine, machine learning, bioinformatics, and cosmology. <

Recenzje

"The book is definitely handy for researchers and graduate students in statistics as well as for scientists and practical users in bioscience, ecological and environmental sciences, social sciences and other applied areas where directional data analysis is needed and even high-dimensional data analytics is encountered." ~Shuangzhe Liu, Stat Papers
