Data mining has developed rapidly and has become very popular in the past two decades, but actually has
its origin in the early stages of IT, then being mostly limited to one-dimensional searching in databases.
The statistical basis of what is now also referred to as data mining has often been laid centuries ago. In
corporate...
With the advent of computers, very large datasets have become routine. Standard statistical methods don’t have the power or flexibility to analyse these efficiently, and extract the required knowledge. An alternative approach is to summarize a large dataset in such a way that the resulting summary dataset is of a manageable size and yet...
This book is about the use of techniques and tools for the design and implementation
of computer systems and software that are free from logical or functional flaws
(in the sense of functional requirements). The word rigorous in the title of this book
is justified by the fact that the arguments for such fault freeness have their roots...
