Great Insights from a practical point of view December 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this is a great text considering the vast array of topics covered by Bishop in this book. The best thing I liked about the book are the fantastic insights the author has provided on various methods and their usage limitations, sometimes in very easy to understand language and studded with some real practical experience going behind it. One thing which I found rather missing was the excessive use of equations without much dwell into their derivations, which can sometimes confuse the first time reader, but when worked diligently by hand, would make the stuff clearer. Said that, the book is a great text for someone to gain latest perspectives on the field from the author's rich research experience. I would definitely recommend someone who wants a fairly broad and usable knowledge about this field.
 Excellent! December 23, 2007

The book "Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning" assumes much less math background than other Pattern Recognition books. Christopher Bishop has a talent for explaining complex subjects. I recommend you to start this book.

I found the first chapter very interesting and the rest of the book terrible. I was hoping to use it to learn about new topics. I already have a masters in statistics and even when readying the sections I am well versed in the text was very difficult to follow.
Excellent book and number one seller. November 8, 2007

I received the book in perfect manner. This is probably the most comprehensive applied machine learning book I have seen so far. Dr. Bishop explained the topics quite in depth and in quite lucid language.
Nice book! October 25, 2007
