Overview

The author has written an accessible book presenting the central issues and placing particular emphasis on comparison, performance assessment and how to match method to application. He reviews the different approaches and guides researchers (and the huge class of users and potential users) to suitable classes of techniques. He points the way to more detailed study in "further reading" sections in each chapter.

Booknews

Briefly presents the major issues of classification and allocation in the field of statistics. Treats Fisher's linear discriminant analysis; nonlinear, recursive partitioning, and nonparametric smoothing methods of rule construction; aspects of rule evaluation including misclassification rates and two- class rules; and practical issues such as combining classifiers, high dimensional allocation rules, automated chromosome classification, sequential methods, and empirical studies of classification rules.
