Summary

The book provides new developments in classification, data analysis and multidimensional methods, topics which are of central interest to modern Statistics. A wide range of topics is considered including methodologies in classification, fuzzy clustering, discrimination, regression tree, neural networks, proximity methodologies, factorial methods, spatial analysis, multiway and multivariate analysis.
