Visualization and Verbalization of Data

"This volume presents an overview of the state of the art in data visualization, encompassing correspondence analysis, nonlinear principal component analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, and much more. It covers the historical developmentof each topic along with modern techniques and future research directions. To illustrate the methods, the book incorporates many real data examples and software implementations. Each chapter is written by leading researchers in the field and thoroughly edited to ensure coherence and consistency"--
