Often considered more of an art than a science, books on clustering have been dominated by learning through example with techniques chosen almost through trial and error. Even the two most popular, and most related, clustering methodsKMeans for partitioning and Ward's method for hierarchical clusteringhave lacked the theoretical underpinning required to establish a firm relationship between the two methods and relevant interpretation aids. Other approaches, such as spectral clustering or consensus clustering, are considered absolutely unrelated to each other or to the two above mentioned methods.Clustering: A Data Recovery Approach, Second Edition presents a unified modeling approach for the most popular clustering methods: the KMeans and hierarchical techniques, especially for divisive clustering. It significantly expands coverage of the mathematics of data recovery, and includes a new chapter covering more recent popular network clustering approachesspectral, modularity and uniform, additive, and consensustreated within the same data recovery approach. Another added chapter covers cluster validation and interpretation, including recent developments for ontologydriven interpretation of clusters. Altogether, the insertions added a hundred pages to the book, even in spite of the fact that fragments unrelated to the main topics were removed.Illustrated using a set of small realworld datasets and more than a hundred examples, the book is oriented towards students, practitioners, and theoreticians of cluster analysis. Covering topics that are beyond the scope of most texts, the authors explanations of data recovery methods, theorybased advice, pre and postprocessing issues and his clear, practical instructions for realworld data mining make this book ideally suited for teaching, selfstudy, and professional reference.
