Facing rapidly growing challenges in empirical research, this volume presents a selection of new methods and approaches in the field of Exploratory Data Analysis. The interested reader will find numerous ideas and examples for cross disciplinary applications of classification and data analysis methods in fields such as data and web mining, medicine and biological sciences as well as marketing, finance and management sciences
