"This book can be used as a reference book on big data analysis with a tilt toward machine learning techniques. Individual chapters could be useful to interested parties in the respective areas of research. Big data analytics is a relatively new problem in the domain of civilian activities, although it has a longer history in military applications. This edited volume certainly fills a niche in this growing and broad research area." (M. M. Tanik, Computing Reviews, computingreviews.com, June, 2016)
