Statistical Learning using Neural Networks: A Guide for Statisticians and Data Scientists with Python introduces artificial neural networks starting from the basics and increasingly demanding more effort from readers, who can learn the theory and its applications in statistical methods with concrete Python code examples. It presents a wide range of widely used statistical methodologies, applied in several research areas with Python code examples, which are available online. It is suitable for scientists and developers as well as graduate students. Key Features: Discusses applications in several research areas Covers a wide range of widely used statistical methodologies Includes Python code e...
First published in 1972, this classic text helped define how research affects policy in the criminal justice system. The new Ninth Edition provides a unique balance of the enduring classics in the development of criminal justice policy, with the most current research from the field and debates from the halls of Congress. This 28-article reader allows students to see research-framed debates discussed in our administration of justice. Flexible in its design, this work promotes a more critical understanding of the structure and function of the criminal justice system, but it also invites attention to critical cross cutting themes, such as discretion, occupational role conception, the sources of power and authority inside institutions, and how the public may impact our choices of laws and the way laws are written.
A concise, easy-to-understand guide to using neural networks in data mining for mathematics, engineering, psychology, and computer science applications, this book compares how neural network models and statistical models are used to tackle data analysis problems. It focuses on the top of the hierarchy of the computational process and shows how neural networks can perform traditional statistical methods of analysis. The book includes some classical and Bayesian statistical inference results and employs R to illustrate the techniques.
Includes Part 1, Number 2: Books and Pamphlets, Including Serials and Contributions to Periodicals (July - December)
Evolutionary Computation (EC) techniques are e?cient, nature-inspired me- ods based on the principles of natural evolution and genetics. Due to their - ciency and simple underlying principles, these methods can be used for a diverse rangeofactivitiesincludingproblemsolving,optimization,machinelearningand pattern recognition. A large and continuously increasing number of researchers and professionals make use of EC techniques in various application domains. This volume presents a careful selection of relevant EC examples combined with a thorough examination of the techniques used in EC. The papers in the volume illustrate the current state of the art in the application of EC and should help a...
Recent years have seen important developments in the computer and game industry, including the emergence of the concept of serious games. It is hypothesized that tools such as games, virtual reality, or applications for smartphones may foster learning, enhance motivation, promote behavioral change, support psychotherapy, favor empowerment, and improve some cognitive functions. Computers and games may create supports for training or help people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral change. Games take various formats, from board games to informatics to games with interactive rules of play. Similarly, computer tools may vary widely in format, from self-help or assisted computerized training ...
This book begins from the small village Shiladhi, where a young fakir clad in white arrived with a marriage party. He stayed on and his divine powers were slowly recognized by the laity around him. Slowly the dilapidated Mashid mayee gets transformed into Dwarka Mai lit up by the warm Dhuni Mai and the ever burning lamps. Vehement skeptics and devotees flock alike to Shirdi, as the Kul-adhipati Sai Baba gathers them in his Gurukul. The book describes in details the various well known miracles of Baba and illustrates their meaning in a lucid manner. The author brings a rear insight and an almost personal touch to this book as she describes the various articles used by Him and the places He visited regularly. This book came about by this irresistible urge to share Shirdi, so readers can profit from it. The articles used and handled by Baba are with the Sansthan so the readers can see them and gain insight in their significance.
