This volume, designed as a Festschrift in honour of Edwin Diday, Professor at Paris-Dauphine University, contains a refereed collection of papers from internationally recognised researchers in the fields of data analysis and classification. It presents recent advances in data analysis, classification, clustering, multivariate statistics and data mining, from a methodological, theoretical, or algorithmic point of view, combined with a wide range of real-world applications which show how data analysis methods can be applied in specific domains. Areas that receive particular attention in the book are classification and clustering, dissimilarity analysis, consensus methods, conceptual analysis of data, analysis of symbolic data, statistical multivariate methods, data mining and knowledge discovery in databases. The reader will hence find in this volume a fine collection of methodological and application-oriented papers that characterize the current developments in data science and classification.
