Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks

Brings together two crucial ideas in pattern recognition: statistical methods and machine learning via neural networks. Unifying principles are brought to the fore, and the author gives an overview of the state of the subject. Many examples are included to illustrate real problems in pattern recognition and how to overcome them. This is a self-contained account, ideal both as an introduction for non-specialist readers, and also as a handbook for the more expert reader.Brian D.
