Saturated systems of homogeneous boxes and the logical analysis of numerical data Original Research Article

Following the general principles of the logical analysis of data methodology, originally developed for the case of binary data, we define a similar approach for the analysis of numerical data. The central concepts of this methodology are those of homogeneous boxes and of saturated systems of homogeneous boxes. The box-clustering heuristic described in this paper is efficient and was applied successfully for the analysis of datasets concerning breast tumors, oil exploration and diabetes.
