Reviews

“The content of the book is really outstanding in terms of the clarity of the discourse and the variety of well-selected examples. … The book brings substantial contributions to the field of partitional clustering from both the theoretical and practical points of view, with the concepts and algorithms presented in a clear and accessible way. It addresses a wide range of readers, including scientists, students, and researchers.” (L. State, Computing Reviews, April, 2015)
