From the reviews:
“This volume contains contributions from the seventh biannual meeting of the Classification and Data Analysis Group of the Italian Statistical Society, organised by the Faculty of Economics at the University of Catania in September 2009. … Most of the contributions provide a clear overview of current areas of active research in statistics. As such, they can help the reader to have an idea about the current state-of-art in different topics. The volume can be used primarily as reference material.” (Fabrizio Durante, International Statistical Review, Vol. 81 (3), 2014)
