Data Clustering in C++: An Object-Oriented Approach

Using object-oriented design and programming techniques in C++, this book explains how to implement data clustering algorithms. Exploiting the commonalities of all data clustering algorithms, the author presents a flexible set of reusable classes that simplifies the implementation of any data clustering algorithm. The first part of the text reviews basic concepts of data clustering, the unified modeling language, object-oriented programming in C++, and design patterns. The second section develops the data clustering base classes. The third part of the text implements several popular data clustering algorithms.
