- SNOB is a classification program
- available from: dld@cs.monash.edu.au
- and described in:
- C. S. Wallace, Classification by minimum-message-length encoding,
- in Advances in Computing and Information ICCI-90
- Springer Verlag LNCS V468 pp72-81 1990
-
- SNOB handles discrete-valued attributes and real-valued attributes.
- It is written in Fortran and can process hundreds of objects with dozens
- of attributes quite rapidly.
- It infers the "best" classification (clustering) of the given
- objects under an information theoretic criterion.
