Long description:

From the reviews:

"This book is an in-depth look at ?the development of appropriate methods for extracting useful information? from data in biomedicine. ? is aimed at scientists and practitioners in the fields of biomedicine, engineering, mathematics, and computer science as well as graduate students and is appropriate for a variety of readers. ? A well compiled volume on the application of data mining to biomedicine, this book will be a welcome addition to the literature." (Nicole Mitchell, Doody?s Review Service, August, 2008)
