A timely convergence of two widely used disciplines
Random Graphs for Statistical Pattern Recognition is the first
book to address the topic of random graphs as it applies to
statistical pattern recognition. Both topics are of vital interest
to researchers in various mathematical and statistical fields and
have never before been treated together in one book. The use of
data random graphs in pattern recognition in clustering and
classification is discussed, and the applications for both
disciplines are enhanced with new tools for the statistical pattern
recognition community. New and interesting applications for random
graph users are also introduced.
This important addition to statistical literature
features:
* Information that previously has been available only through
scattered journal articles
* Practical tools and techniques for a wide range of real-world
applications
* New perspectives on the relationship between pattern
recognition and computational geometry
* Numerous experimental problems to encourage practical
applications
With its comprehensive coverage of two timely fields, enhanced
with many references and real-world examples, Random Graphs for
Statistical Pattern Recognition is a valuable resource for
industry professionals and students alike.
