Introduction to Pattern Recognition: A Matlab Approach 1st Edition

I have read the first chapter so far, however i have found that the book is so practical. I have passed machine learning in the school and i can say that this book a good snapshot of that subject. The most important thing is that the book includes lots of matlab codes which really help the readers understand the concept of the application of different classifiers in a practical way by solving vary applicable examples throughout the book.

This book was designed as an accompaniment to Pattern Recognition, Fourth Edition with additional intuitive descriptions of selected algorithms and Matlab-based problems with solutions.This book is not a replacement for any pattern recognition book, because it lacks any real technical depth, but in conjunction with a complete text (I personally like this book's companion, also by Theodoridis) the content of this book can be put to good use for real-world applications.Four stars because although the content is of high quality, the book sparsely covers the diverse subject of pattern classification. If a new edition is released with additional examples that more completely cover Theodoridis's text, that would easily be a 5-star book IMHO.

Great book for learning, takes you step by step through using matlab and has all solutions and code downloadable on their website. Was very helpful in learning pattern recognition.

As described

Firstly, I bought this book thinking it covered the subjects on the book Pattern Classification, by Duda, Hart & Stork, 2001, a book I own. But it refers to a book with the same title from the authors, and I'm not willing to buy another one on the same subject.And I praise the authors because they're supporting theirs readers with something practical, and not only the theory; it's a clever way, too, to have more money from their readers, though I don't agree with such policy. Why not put it all together in the same book? This is missing in Duda, Hart & Stork.I'm not going through all the seven chapters of the Matlab stuff present in the book. But the material covers what it's supposed to honestly. You'll find a bunch of code that certainly will save you lots of programming time.If you're reading this note to discover what I think about the book, I tell you that it's worth buying. You'll not loose your rich and sweat money.Regards.Jose.

The download links to the source code are no longer valid and there is no information online showing how to download the source code. This book is absolutely USELESS without the source code because most of the functions referred to have no source code printed in the book. The book just shows how to use the functions in examples so without the source code to download, the examples cannot even be runUPDATE: The publisher informed me that they NO LONGER SUPPORT this book and any supplemental materials will no longer be supplied. Without the MATLAB code it is not possible to use this book!

Thanks!

This book was not required for my Pattern Recognition course but proved to be a beneficial companion to the Pattern Recognition textbook from the same authors. I referenced this book frequently throughout the class and a lot while designing our final assignment for the course.
