Overview

The volume presents new developments in data analysis and classification. Particular attention is devoted to clustering, discrimination, data analysis and statistics, as well as applications in biology, finance and social sciences. The reader will find theory and algorithms on recent technical and methodological developments and many application papers showing the empirical usefulness of the newly developed solutions.
