Biography

Jiawei Han, Harvey J. Miller

"… This book is about the rapidly growing field of geographic data mining—systematic procedures for searching through these vast resources in support of science, intelligence-gathering, and decision-making. It includes chapters on new methods of visualization and statistical analysis that together can produce new geographic knowledge out of the vast unorganized morass of information that is now available to us. This second edition of a work that first appeared in 2001 gives an essential and detailed update on developments in a rapidly advancing field."
