Contrast Data Mining

This work collects recent results from this specialized area of data mining that have previously been scattered in the literature, making them more accessible to researchers and developers in data mining and other fields. The book not only presents concepts and techniques for contrast data mining, but also explores the use of contrast mining to solve challenging problems in various scientific, medical, and business domains. It examines how contrast mining is used in discriminative gene transfer and microarray analysis, computational toxicology, spatial and image data classification, network security, and many more applications.
