John Nelder was one of the most influential statisticians of his generation, having made an impact on many parts of the discipline. This book contains reviews of some of those areas, written by top researchers. It is accessible to non-specialists, and is noteworthy for its breadth of coverage.

The general theme of the Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA) Symposia is the - telligent use of computers in complex data analysis problems. The ?eld has matured su?ciently that some re-considerationof our objectives was required in order to retain the distinctiveness of IDA. Thus, in addition to the more tra- tional algorithm- and application-oriented submissions, we sought submissions that speci?cally focus on aspects of the data analysis process. For example, - teractive tools to guide and support data analysis in complex scenarios. With the increasingavailabilityofautomaticallycollecteddata,...

The background to IDA 2010, the 9th International Symposium on Intelligent DataAnalysis(IDA), is ratherunusual. Previously, thesymposiawereheldbi- nially at European venues. Over this time, the IDA Symposium had established an identity, a dedicated group of Program Committee members, and a regular audience. However, this success had come at a cost to the original ambitions for the symposium concerned with interfacing AI, statistics and computer science for important and di?cult real-world data analysis problems being comp- mised in favor of more standard data mining content. IDA 2010 was...

There is increasing pressure to protect computer networks against unauthorized intrusion, and some work in this area is concerned with engineering systems that are robust to attack. However, no system can be made invulnerable. Data Analysis for Network Cyber-Security focuses on monitoring and analyzing network traffic data, with the intention of preventing, or quickly identifying, malicious activity.Such work involves the intersection of statistics, data mining and computer science. Fundamentally, network traffic is relational, embodying a link between devices. As such, graph analysis...

This book constitutes the conference proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis, which was held in October 2017 in London, UK.The 28 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions.
