by Ingo Balderjahn (Editor), Rudolf Mathar (Editor), Martin Schader (Editor)

Overview

This volume presents 43 articles dealing with models and methods of data analysis and classification, statistics and shastics, information systems and WWW- and Internet-related topics as well as many applications. These articles are selected from more than 100 papers presented at the 21st Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft für Klassifikation. Based on the submitted and revised papers six sections have been arranged: - Classification and Data Analysis - Mathematical and Statistical Methods - World Wide Web and the Internet - Speech and Pattern Recognition - Marketing
