Abstract :
This book contains a rather complete collection of algorithms, heuristics, and techniques for use in statistical or geometrical pattern recognition problems. Included are techniques for recognition, feature selection, and general data analysis. The rationale for presenting such an extensive bag of tricks is due to the author\´s feeling that mathematical pattern recognition is "...a collection of numerical algorithms for solving very particular problems posed in very particular ways." Because of this, the book should make an excellent reference work in mathematical pattern recognition.
