    • Cluster Analysis – Symbolic vs. Classical Data 

      Wilk, Justyna; Pełka, Marcin (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2013)
      Clustering problem is addressed in many contexts and disciplines. Although there are numerous studies on cluster analysis, there is a lack of a review to complete and systematize knowledge of research approach depending ...
    • Comparison of Accuracy of Affinity Propagation Method and Cluster Ensembles Based on Co-Occurrence Matrix 

      Rozmus, Dorota (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2013)
      High accuracy of results is a very important task in any grouping problem (clustering). It determines effectiveness of the decisions based on them. Therefore in the literature there are proposed methods and solutions ...
    • Comparison of Estimators of a Probability of Success in Two Models 

      Zieliński, Wojciech (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2013)
      In modeling two valued phenomena a binomial or negative binomial model is applied. In the paper minimum variance unbiased estimators of a probability of success obtained in two models are compared.
