Causal Models and Intelligent Data Management

Data analysis and inference have traditionally been research areas of statistics. However, the need to electronically store, manipulate and analyze large-scale, high-dimensional data sets requires new methods and tools, new types of databases, new efficient algorithms, new data structures, etc. - in effect new computational methods.

This monograph presents new intelligent data management methods and tools, such as the support vector machine, and new results from the field of inference, in ...
