Statistical Learning Theory

Dieses Buch widmet sich der statistischen Theorie des Lernens und der Verallgemeinerung - das heißt, dem Problem der Auswahl der gewünschten Funktion auf der Basis empirischen Datenmaterials. Anwendung findet die Theorie auf vielen verschiedenen Gebieten - in neuronalen Netzwerken, Fuzzy-Logic-Systemen und künstlicher Intelligenz - beispielsweise in der Psychologie und der Informationswissenschaft.
