Summary

The volume presents recent advances in data analysis and decision support and gives an actual overview on the interface between mathematics, operations research, statistics, computer science, and management science. Areas that receive considerable attention in the book are discrimination and clustering, multidimensional scaling, data mining and decision support systems as well as applications in marketing and corporate planning. The reader will find material on recent technical and methodological developments and a large number of applications demonstrating the usefulness of the newly developed techniques.
