This book is about using graphs to understand the relationship between a regression model and the data to which it is fitted. Because of the new way in which models are fitted, for example by least squares, we can lose information about the effect of individual observations on inferences about the form and parameters of the model. The methods developed in this book reveal how the fitted regression model depends on individual observations and on groups of observations. Robust procedures can sometimes reveal this structure, but downweight or discard some observations. The novelty in this

The book presents new developments in data analysis, classification and multivariate statistics, and in their algorithmic implementation. The more methodologically oriented reader will find contributions to the theory of clustering and discrimination, multidimensional data analysis, data mining, and robust statistics with a special emphasis on the novel Forward Search approach. Many papers also provide significant contributions in a wide range of fields of application. Customer satisfaction and service evaluation are two examples of such emerging fields.

Manufacturing plays a vital role in European economy and society, and is expected to continue as a major generator of wealth in the foreseeable future. A competitive manufacturing industry is essential for the prosperity of Europe, especially in the face of accelerating deindustrialisation. This book provides a broad vision of the future of manufacturing, analysed from a system-management viewpoint and with a special focus on ICT-related matters. Each contribution presents a complex and multidisciplinary research domain from a specific perspective. The first part of the book gives an overview

A review of the relationship of mating systems with other aspects of vertebrate biology. It seeks to present many stimulating perspectives and ideas on mating systems studies. While many of the contributors present their own research, in all cases they underline the general relevance of their work and speculate on future directions of scientific enquiry.

Efforts to conserve wildlife populations and preserve biological diversity are often hampered by an inadequate understanding of animal behavior. How do animals react to gaps in forested lands, or to sport hunters? Do individual differences?in age, sex, size, past experience?affect how an animal reacts to a given situation? Differences in individual behavior may determine the success or failure of a conservation initiative, yet they are rarely considered when strategies and policies are developed. Animal Behavior and Wildlife Conservation explores how knowledge of animal behavior may help incre
