Analysis of complex networks : from biology to linguistics

"Many problems from the life sciences can be cast into a mathematical framework that is based on a graph theoretic description. For this reason a thorough understanding of such methods is increasingly important for the data analysis and modeling of biochemical, biological and biomedical problems." "This book follows a new approach including graph theory from a mathematical perspective by studying applications of network based methods in a context-specific manner. The book is written by renowned experts in the field and offers valuable background information for a wide audience ranging from, e.g., discrete mathematics, applied statistics, biostatistics, computational biology, computer science, machine learning or systems biology."--Jacket.
Abstract: Follows a new approach of including graph theory from a mathematical perspective with specific applications of graph theory in biomedical and computational sciences. Of ever increasing significance for novel computational areas in biomedical sciences such as systems biology or neuronal network analysis. Written by renowned experts in the field.
