Optimal set covering for biological classification / by L. P. Lefkovitch. Issued by Research Branch. : A53-1893/1993E
Drawing on completely new material and preliminary work published in journals, this study explains conditional clustering from first principles. The book demonstrates clearly how mathematical procedures can contribute to biological classification and identification with a minimum of assumptions. Of interest to museums of natural history, universities offering biology and mathematics, taxonomists and ecologists. A series of case studies illustrates most of the procedures and principles.
