Opis

This accessible but rigorous introduction is written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in data science, as well as researchers and practitioners. It shows how a statistical framework yields sound estimation, testing and prediction methods, using extensive data examples and providing R code for many methods.

Recenzje

'This book frames cluster analysis and classification in terms of statistical models, thus yielding principled estimation, testing and prediction methods, and sound answers to the central questions … Written for advanced undergraduates in data science, as well as researchers and practitioners, it assumes basic knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics.' Hans-Jürgen Schmidt, zbMATH
