An Interactive Operating System for Multivariate Data Compression and Classification

摘要

An interactive operating system has been designed which facilitates the development of experimental graphics-oriented computer procedures for multivariate data compression and classification. Its features include a random access vector file system, an on-line monitor for data base manipulation and program execution, and a provision for defining sequences of monitor commands as system procedures. A library of programs which perform fundamental operations on multivariate data has been assembled. Program descriptions include operating instructions and explanations of required parameters. The programs may be combined into system procedures for data compression and classification. Several typical procedures are defined and explained. (Author)
