Reviews

The book deals with the necessary knowledge for understanding the theoretical and practical aspects regarding the common techniques of exploratory data analysis and modeling. For a better understanding, the underlying assumptions, mathematical formulations, and the algorithms involved by these techniques are presented. The authors made the text self-contained, the book being designed as a supplemental and referential resource for the practitioners dealing with this domain. The book also discusses a variety of practical topics more or less present in the literature. -Book Review by Florin Gorunescu, appearing in Zentralblatt MATH, 1306 | 1
