This book bridges the gap between daily practice of cluster analysis and computer-assisted (knowledge-based) diagnostic support in cluster analysis. It incorporates hands-on experience through the EDAPLUS software package that goes with the book. Coverage includes a detailed explanation of the concept of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic in cluster analysis; numerous examples of artificial and real data; and a detailed case study of a sonar sound signal cluster analysis. This work is intended for final year undergraduate and MSc students in departments of electrical engineering and computer science studying pattern recognition and/or knowledge-based systems.
