{"product_id":"9781461411468","title":"Predictive Clustering","description":"This book introduces a novel paradigm for machine learning and data mining called predictive clustering, which covers a broad variety of learning tasks and offers a fresh perspective on existing techniques.\u003cp\u003eThe book presents an informal introduction to predictive clustering, describing learning tasks and settings, and then continues with a formal description of the paradigm, explaining algorithms for learning predictive clustering trees and predictive clustering rules, as well as presenting the applicability of these learning techniques to a broad range of tasks. Variants of decision tree learning algorithms are also introduced. Finally, the book offers several significant applications in ecology and bio-informatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is written in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner, aimed at varied readership, ranging from researchers with an interest in machine learning techniques to practitioners of data mining technology in the areas of ecology and bioinformatics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027773112560,"sku":"9781461411468","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461411468","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
