Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Terrible Problems
I am not sure how this book gets consistently high marks. I am using this text for a graduate level course. While it does a decent job covering most of the topics, it has some glaring flaws.
For one the Homework Problems it provides are not really representative of what you're learning in the text. Almost all of the problems revolve around proofs, as opposed to using the concepts in practice. You can seemingly have a good grasp on the material, yet spend hours trying to solve each of ...

Rating:  - excellent revision of a classical text on statistical pattern recognition
The 1973 book by Duda and Hart was a classic. It surveyed the literature on pattern classification and scene analysis and provided the practitioner with wonderful insight and exposition of the subject. In the intervening 28 years the field has exploded and there has been an enormous increase in technical approaches and applications.
With this in mind the authors and their new coauthor David Stork go about the task of providing a revision. True to the goals of the original the authors undertake ... Read More
Rating: - Stick with the first edition
I used the first edition of this book in a class on pattern recognition back in 1998.

Rating: - Great product & service
This was my first purchase from amazon and I was totally impressed by the quality of the product and the service! I would buy again from the same seller and recommend others to do the same.
Rating:  - A Very Bad Sequel
I have now used this book 3 times for a class. While the 1st edition did a nice job of covering the material in its time, the additions to in the 2nd addition are a disaster. What the book has going for it is that it at least lists the necessary material for such a course in the table of contents. However, all the additional material is poorly explained at best. The problem sets are too few and the ones that are included are generally weak.
I have tried to use this book, but after constant ... Read More
