Description
This book presents techniques for uncovering the underlying structure in large datasets. By analyzing similarities and differences between objects, researchers can identify patterns that reflect the data's hidden organization.
The methods outlined in this volume use proximity measures to find configurations of points that accurately represent the data's structure. This approach enables researchers to discuss complex data in a more meaningful way.
