Description Fuzzy Modeling and Genetic Algorithms for Data Mining and Exploration is a handbook for analysts, engineers, and managers
involved in developing data mining models in business and government. As you?ll discover, fuzzy systems are extraordinarily valuable
tools for representing and manipulating all kinds of data, and genetic algorithms and evolutionary programming techniques drawn from
biology provide the most effective means for designing and tuning these systems.
You don?t need a background in fuzzy modeling or genetic
algorithms to benefit, for this book provides it, along with detailed instruction in methods that you can immediately put to work in
your own projects. The author provides many diverse examples and also an extended example in which evolutionary strategies are used to
create a complex scheduling system.
Audience
Researchers and technicians in organizations with large databases.
