The book is based on the "StatLog" project which lasted from 1990 to 1993, and involved six academic and 6 industrial laboratories. Statisticians, AI researchers in machine learning, and neural net specialists conducted extensive, collaborative work on the task of classification. This well-edited book provides an up-to-date review of different approaches to classification, compares their performance on a wide range of challenging datasets, and draws conclusions on their applicability to realistic industrial problems.
