Processing and Managing Complex Data for Decision Support

Idea Group Publishing, 2006

In many decision support fields the data that is exploited tends to be more and more complex. To take this phenomenon into account, classical architectures of data warehouses or data mining algorithms must be completely re-evaluated.

Processing and Managing Complex Data for Decision Support provides readers with an overview of the emerging...

Advances in Minimum Description Length: Theory and Applications (Neural Information Processing)

MIT Press, 2005

The process of inductive inference—to infer general laws and principles from particular instances—is the basis of statistical modeling, pattern recognition, and machine learning. The Minimum Descriptive Length (MDL) principle, a powerful method of inductive inference, holds that the best explanation, given a limited set of observed...
