โฆ Synopsis
I wanted to learn about combinatorial optimization for a particular application in cluster analysis, and this book hit the mark. This is a clearly written overview of the application of general dynamic programming to cluster analysis, object sequencing and seriation, and other data analysis problems "in which the arrangement of a collection of objects is absolutely central." [from the Preface]
