内容简介
　　combinatorial data analysis （cda） refers to a wide class ofmethods for the study of relevant data sets in which thearrangement of a collection of objects is absolutely central.combinatorial data analysis： optimization by dynamic programmingfocuses on the identification of arrangements， which are thenfurther restricted to where the combinatorial search is carried outby a recursive optimization process based on the general principlesof dynamic programming （dp）.the authors provide a comprehensive and self-contained reviewdelineating a very general dp paradigm， or schema， that can servetwo functions. first， the paradigm can be applied in variousspecial forms to encompass all previously proposed applicationssuggested in the classification literature. second， the paradigmcan lead directly to many more novel uses. an appendix is includedas a user's manual for a collection of programs available asfreeware.the incorporation of a wide variety of cda tasks under one commonoptimization framework based on dp is one of this book's strongestpoints. the authors include verifiably optimal solutions tonontrivially sized problems over the array of data analysis tasksdiscussed.this monograph provides an applied documentation source， as well asan introduction to a collection of associated computer programs，that will be of interest to applied statisticians and data analystsas well as notationally sophisticated users.
