Rezension

From the reviews:



"This book is a monograph on learning classifier systems … . The main objective of the book is to compare strength-based classifier systems with accuracy-based systems. … The book is equipped with nine appendices. … The biggest advantage of the book is its readability. The book is well written and is illustrated with many convincing examples." (Jerzy W. Grzymal-Busse, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 k)
