Inhaltsangabe

Classifying objects according to their likeness seems to have been a step in the human process of acquiring knowledge, and it is certainly a basic part of many of the sciences. Historically, the scientific process has involved classification and organization particularly in sciences such as botany, geology, astronomy, and linguistics. In a modern context, we may view classification as deriving a hierarchical clustering of objects. Thus, classification is close to factorial analysis methods and to multi-dimensional scaling methods. It provides a mathematical underpinning to the analysis of dissimilarities between objects.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This volume provides an introduction to the analysis of dissimilarity and, more generally, to classification. It surveys the main theoretical bases of classification theory from a number of points of view. As a result, many researchers concerned with classification will find this an invaluable survey of the underlying mathematical ideas to classification.
