Produktbeschreibung

The third edition of Numerical Recipes has wider coverage than ever before, with two new chapters, and many other expanded and updated sections. The executable object-oriented C++ code for all the routines is now printed in colour for easy reading.
Highlights of the new material include:
- A new chapter on classification and inference, Gaussian mixture models, HMMs, hierarchical clustering, and SVMs
- A new chapter on computational geometry, covering KD trees, quad- and octrees, Delaunay triangulation, and algorithms for lines, polygons, triangles, and spheres
- Interior point methods for linear programming
- MCMC
- An expanded treatment of ODEs with completely new routines
- Many new statistical distributions
