The Role Of Cluster Analysis In Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal

First published in 1997, this volume emerged in response to the need for material on the research, development, use and application of mass appraisal techniques for ad valorem property tax systems. The primary paradigms discussed include regression, base home technique, adaptive estimation procedure and artificial neural networks. Intending to address a wide range of property types, the authors explored residential, condominiums, retail, office and industrial property as well as agricultural and forestry land.

This volume fills an important gap in publications for the real estate professional by providing, for the first time, a clearly organized, current bibliography to the literature of real estate valuation. International in scope, the bibliography includes journal articles and books that deal directly with the subject of property valuation or with factors that affect valuation. Primary emphasis is placed on materials written specifically for a professional audience although publications aimed at the popular market are included when they cover significant topics otherwise poorly documented. Throughout, the focus is on literature published from 1975 forward.
