Second Edition

This completely revised second edition
presents an introduction to statistical pat-
tern recognition. Pattern recognition in
general covers a wide range of problems: it
is applied to engineering problems, such as
character readers and wave form analysis,
as well as to brain modeling in biology and
psychology. Statistical decision and estima-
tion, which are the main subjects of this
book, are regarded as fimdamental to the
study of pattern recognition. This book
is appropriate as a text for introductory
courses in pattern recognition and as a ref-
erence book for people who work in the
field. Each chapter also contains computer
projects as well as exercises.
