{"product_id":"symbolic-data-analysis-and-the-edwin-diday-9780470018835","title":"Symbolic Data Analysis and the Sodas Software","description":"Symbolic data analysis is a relatively new field that provides a range of methods for analyzing complex datasets. Standard statistical methods do not have the power or flexibility to make sense of very large datasets, and symbolic data analysis techniques have been developed in order to extract knowledge from such data. Symbolic data methods differ from that of data mining, for example, because rather than identifying points of interest in the data, symbolic data methods allow the user to build models of the data and make predictions about future events.\u003cbr\u003e This book is the result of the work f a pan-European project team led by Edwin Diday following 3 years work sponsored by EUROSTAT. It includes a full explanation of the new SODAS software developed as a result of this project. The software and methods described highlight the crossover between statistics and computer science, with a particular emphasis on data mining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edwin Diday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0470018836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470018835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Interscience\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.79h x 6.83w x 1.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 27","brand":"Edwin Diday","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013736050943,"sku":"9780470018835","price":191.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa6f0bb2-819b-4cca-aaed-02112fce9ac2.jpg?v=1767744445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/symbolic-data-analysis-and-the-edwin-diday-9780470018835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
