The first edition, published in 1973, has become a classicreference in the field. Now with the second edition, readers willfind information on key new topics such as neural networks andstatistical pattern recognition, the theory of machine learning,and the theory of invariances. Also included are worked examples,comparisons between different methods, extensive graphics, expandedexercises and computer project topics.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available from the Wiley editorialdepartment.
