Description

This work examines the intersection of machine learning and statistics, an expanding area of interest to data analysis and intelligent systems students and professionals. Through a series of papers, the book shows how machine learning researchers are applying statistical and probabilistic approaches in the development of a variety of machine learning algorithms. It examines classification and prediction, opportunities and problems created by the expansion of database use around the world, and how some machine learning algorithms are currently used to perform classification and forecasting tasks which were previously in the domain of statisticians.
