Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Intelligent Data Analysis, IDA 2001, held in Cascais, Portugal, in September 2001. The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of almost 150 submissions. All current aspects of this interdisciplinary field are addressed; the areas covered include statistics, artificial intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, data mining, and interactive dynamic data visualization.
