This book was written to provide resource materials for teachers to use in their introductory or intermediate statistics class. The chapter content is ordered along the lines of many popular statistics books so it should be easy to supplement the content and exercises with class lecture materials.
This book covers a fast-growing topic in great depth and focuses on the technologies and applications of probabilistic data management. It aims to provide a single account of current studies in probabilistic data management. The objective of the book is to provide the state of the art information to researchers, practitioners, and...
At a fundamental level, service-oriented crowdsourcing applies the principles of service-oriented architecture (SOA) to the discovery, composition and selection of a scalable human workforce. Service-Oriented Crowdsourcing: Architecture, Protocols and Algorithms provides both an analysis of contemporary crowdsourcing systems, such as Amazon...
ggplot2 is an R package for producing statistical, or data, graphics, but
it is unlike most other graphics packages because it has a deep underlying
grammar. This grammar, based on the Grammar of Graphics (Wilkinson,
2005), is composed of a set of independent components that can be composed
in many different...
Our journey towards this Festschrift started when realizing that our teacher, mentor,
and friend Ursula Gather was going to celebrate her 60th birthday soon. As a researcher,
lecturer, scientific advisor, board member, reviewer, editor, Ursula has had
a wide impact...
This new edition is intended for a one semester course in optics for juniors and seniors in science and engineering. It uses scripts from Maple, MathCad, Mathematica, and MATLAB to provide a simulated laboratory where students can learn by exploration and discovery instead of passive absorption. The text covers all the standard...
Genetic Programming IV: Routine Human-Competitive Machine Intelligence presents the application of GP to a wide variety of problems involving automated synthesis of controllers, circuits, antennas, genetic networks, and metabolic pathways. The book describes fifteen instances where GP has created an entity...
Although there are many books on mathematical finance, few deal with the statistical aspects of modern data analysis as applied to financial problems. This textbook fills this gap by addressing some of the most challenging issues facing financial engineers. It shows how sophisticated mathematics and modern statistical techniques can...
This book offers a systematic study of sparse graphs and sparse finite structures. Although the notion of sparsity appears in various contexts and is typical of a fuzzy notion, the authors present a unifying classification of general classes of structures....
Mathematical summary for Digital Signal Processing Applications with Matlab consists of Mathematics which is not usually dealt in the DSP core subject, but used in DSP applications. Matlab programs with illustrations are given for the selective topics such as generation of Multivariate Gaussian distributed sample outcomes, Bacterial...
CSIE 2011 is an international scientific Congress for distinguished scholars engaged in scientific, engineering and technological research, dedicated to build a platform for exploring and discussing the future of Computer Science and Information Engineering with existing and potential application scenarios. The congress has been held...
Somebody once said that one may prove the correctness of an algorithm, but not of a
program. One of the main goals of this book is to convince the reader that things are
not so bad.
A well-known programmer, C.A.R. Hoare, said that the beauty of a program is
not an additional benefit but a criterion...
