Description
Recent developments in artificial intelligence and other areas of computer science have given statisticians access to powerful techniques for data analysis. The contributors to this book show how computer power can best be used in statistical applications. A wide variety of topics are covered, from discussion of uncertainty representation to the development and use of genetic algorithms and more traditional artificial intelligence techniques. This book should be of interest to statisticians and computer scientists working with complex statistical problems which require enhanced computer power to reach a solution, and to statisticians and computer scientists interested in the use of AI in statistics.
