Book: Machine Learning and Applications

Very interesting... this book is the volume # 31 in the series "Handbook of Statistics" edited by C.R. Rao and V. Govindaraju. The series started well before I completed my PhD in 1993, and obviously, they believe machine learning is a sub-domain of statistics. This might be the most comprehensive attempt at producing an exhaustive resource for statistician, with more than 10,000 pages to date. Second interesting fact: I purchased the book on Amazon for less than 100, last week. Now when I check it, it is listed at 184.35.
