Branch-and-bound applications in combinatorial data analysis.

From MaRDI portal





The examination of statistical data is often related to a variety of optimisation problems of a combinatorial nature. Combinatorial problems arise in the clustering of a collection of objects, the ordering of objects, etc. For many of these combinatorial problems, branch-and-bound methods have been proposed and/or developed. It is the aim of this monograph to summarise and illustrate available methods for applying the branch-and-bound process to problems of combinatorial data analysis. The monograph is organised in three parts. The first part focuses on applications for partitioning a set of objects based on various criteria. The second part describes branch-and-bound approaches for seriation of a collection of objects. Finally, the third part addresses the plausibility of branch-and-bound methods for variable selection in multivariable data analysis, focusing particularly on cluster and regression analyses. The book is well suited to all students and researchers interested in the implementation of branch-and-bound procedures for the statistical analysis of data.
