This volume attempts to continue along the path blazed by the first two volumes of this series, capturing the spirit of the creative graphics programmer. Each of the Gems represents a carefully crafted technique or idea that has proven useful for the respective author. These contributors have graciously allowed these ideas to be shared with you....
Often considered more as an art than a science, the field of clustering has been dominated by learning through examples and by techniques chosen almost through trial-and-error. Even the most popular clustering methods--K-Means for partitioning the data set and Ward's method for hierarchical clustering--have lacked the theoretical...
