Exploratory Data Analysis Using Fisher Information

Ed. by Roy Frieden and Robert A. Gatenby

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses a mathematical approach to deriving the laws of science and technology, based upon the concept of Fisher information. The approach that follows from these ideas is called the principle of Extreme Physical Information (EPI). The authors show how to use EPI to determine the theoretical input/output laws of unknown systems. Will benefit readers whose math skill is at the level of an undergraduate science or engineering degree.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book begins with an introduction by Frieden, which covers Fisher information and its uses when employing the EPI approach. ... This fascinating book is well organized, written in a careful and systematic way, and contains much new material. It will be useful to those interested in information technology (IT), processing, retrieval, and distortion. It is an excellent source of information for the study and research of exploratory data analysis." -- P. R. Parthasarathy, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008
