With the development of Big Data platforms for managing massive amount of data and wide availability of tools for processing these data, the biggest limitation is the lack of trained experts who are qualified to process and interpret the results. This textbook is intended for graduate students and experts using methods of cluster analysis and applications in various fields.
With clear explanations of ideas and precise definitions of notions, accompanied by numerous examples and exercises together with Mathematica programs and modules, Cluster Analysis and Applications is meant for students and researchers in various disciplines, working in data analysis or data science.
