Discriminant Analysis and Statistical Pattern Recognition By: McLachlan ISBN: 9780471691150                           This book provides a modern, comprehensive, and systematic account of discriminant analysis and statistical pattern recognition.

Since its inception in 1977, the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm has been the subject of intense scrutiny, dozens of applications, numerous extensions, and thousands of publications. The algorithm and its extensions are now standard tools applied to incomplete data problems in virtually every field in which statistical methods are used.

A multi-discipline, hands-on guide to microarray analysis of biological processes Analyzing Microarray Gene Expression Data provides a comprehensive review of available methodologies for the analysis of data derived from the latest DNA microarray technologies.

Finite mixture models are typically used where the population being studied is heterogeneous in composition. This work aims to offer an up-to-date account of the major issues involved with finite modelling. There is a practical emphasis on the applications of mixture models.
