Standard statistical methods don't have the power or flexibility to analyse these efficiently, and extract the required knowledge. An alternative approach is to summarize a large dataset in such a way that the resulting summary dataset is of a manageable size and yet retains as much of the knowledge in the original dataset as possible. One consequence of this is that the data may no longer be formatted as single values, but be represented by lists, intervals, distributions, etc. The summarized data have their own internal sWiley Series in Computational StatisticsData miningMultivariate analysisData mining.Multivariate analysis.519.5/35519.535Billard L(Lynne),1943-102384Diday E1837735MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019310003321Symbolic data analysis4416608UNINA
