It seems that increasingly, people are using principal components analysis (not to mention cluster analysis) as a way of interpreting, for example, sets of patterns over hidden units. For those of us who managed to miss that part of the requisite undergraduate training in mathematics, can anyone recommend references that give a clear and accessible introduction to the area? Thanks, Tim van Gelder

In regards to your query about prinicpal components analysis, et al, you might try looking at: _Statistical_Pattern_Recognition_ by Fukanaga I believe the publisher is Prentice-Hall, but I could be wrong (the book is at home). I took a one-week concentrated course in Image Processing and Pattern Recognition at Purdue and Fukanaga was one of the instructors. He knows his subject. Angus Bond CWRU Comp. Sci. & Engr.
