Features an integrated approach of statistical scenarios and simulations to aid readers in developing key intuitions needed to understand the wide ranging concepts and methods of statistics and inference Illuminating Statistical Analysis Using Scenarios and Simulations presents the basic concepts of statistics and statistical inference using the dual mechanisms of scenarios and simulations. This approach helps readers develop key intuitions and deep understandings of statistical analysis. Scenario-specific sampling simulations depict the results that would be obtained by a very large number of individuals investigating the same scenario, each with their own evidence, while graphical depictions of the simulation results present clear and direct pathways to intuitive methods for statistical inference. These intuitive methods can then be easily linked to traditional formulaic methods, and the author does not simply explain the linkages, but rather provides demonstrations throughout for a broad range of statistical phenomena. In addition, induction and deduction are repeatedly interwoven, which fosters a natural «need to know basis» for ordering the topic coverage. Examining computer simulation results is central to the discussion and provides an illustrative way to (re)discover the properties of sample statistics, the role of chance, and to (re)invent corresponding principles of statistical inference. In addition, the simulation results foreshadow the various mathematical formulas that underlie statistical analysis. In addition, this book: • Features both an intuitive and analytical perspective and includes a broad introduction to the use of Monte Carlo simulation and formulaic methods for statistical analysis • Presents straight-forward coverage of the essentials of basic statistics and ensures proper understanding of key concepts such as sampling distributions, the effects of sample size and variance on uncertainty, analysis of proportion, mean and rank differences, covariance, correlation, and regression • Introduces advanced topics such as Bayesian statistics, data mining, model cross-validation, robust regression, and resampling • Contains numerous example problems in each chapter with detailed solutions as well as an appendix that serves as a manual for constructing simulations quickly and easily using Microsoft® Office Excel® Illuminating Statistical Analysis Using Scenarios and Simulations is an ideal textbook for courses, seminars, and workshops in statistics and statistical inference and is appropriate for self-study as well. The book also serves as a thought-provoking treatise for researchers, scientists, managers, technicians, and others with a keen interest in statistical analysis. Jeffrey E. Kottemann, Ph.D., is Professor in the Perdue School at Salisbury University.

Boney M. waren eine der gr??ten Popsensationen der sp?ten Siebziger: eine Disco-Band, erdacht vom Produzenten Frank Farian, der zu Beginn eigentlich nur vier h?bsche Aush?ngeschilder f?r seine schon fertigen Songs gesucht hatte. W?hrend Bobby Farrell und Maizie Williams das auch weitgehend blieben, trugen die S?ngerinnen Liz Mitchell und Marcia Barrett schon bald entscheidend zum Sound des Projekts bei. Die vier tingelten zun?chst durch kleine Clubs, bis sich ?ber Nacht der Riesenerfolg einstellte: «Daddy Cool» wurde zum ?berflieger und schoss auf den ersten Platz der deutschen Charts. Von 1976 bis 1978 lieferten Boney M. sieben Nummer-1-Singles hintereinander ab, und auch in den Folgejahren landete das Quartett zahlreiche Hits.
Mit ihren Erinnerungen an diese turbulente Zeit, an verr?ckte Fernsehauftritte und gewagte Fotosessions, an Kaviar, Champagner und Luxushotels beginnt Marcia Barrett ihre Autobiografie, die aber auch von den Schattenseiten eines Lebens als Popstar berichtet: Farian forderte h?chsten Einsatz von den vier Bandmitgliedern, die zwar im Studio kaum zum Zug kamen, sich daf?r aber jederzeit f?r Auftritte bereithalten mussten. Boney M. bereisten die Welt und wurden von ihren Fans gefeiert, blieben aber abh?ngig von den Launen des Masterminds, das im Hintergrund die F?den zog. Spannend und kenntnisreich schildert Barrett die Mechanismen der Popindustrie zur damaligen Zeit, in der Produzenten und Manager mit viel Kalk?l Hits zu schaffen versuchten, in ihren Musikern aber allenfalls willf?hrige Marionetten sahen.
F?nfzehn Jahre lang war Marcia Barrett Teil von Boney M., und diese Zeit pr?gte ihr Leben. Ebenso spannend jedoch liest sich ihre private Geschichte, von ihrer Kindheit in Jamaika ?ber die fr?heren Jahre als S?ngerin, als sie erst in England, sp?ter dann in Deutschland Fu? zu fassen versuchte. In den Neunzigerjahren, nach der Trennung von Boney M., musste sie schlie?lich ganz andere Herausforderungen meistern. Barrett erkrankte mehrfach an Krebs, k?mpfte sich aber nach jeder Diagnose mutig und unerschrocken wieder zur?ck ins Leben: «Immer weiter» blieb bei allen R?ckschl?gen ihr Motto.

Die beiden Themengebiete Lizenzen und Lizenzmodelle sind untrennbar mit der Softwareentwicklung verbunden. Und doch werden die Themen h?ufig ignoriert oder zu lange beiseite geschoben. Im Umkehrschluss bedeutet das, dass sich jeder, der Software entwickeln m?chte, mit den Themengebieten auseinander setzen muss. Ganz gleich, ob es sich um ein kommerzielles Produkt oder um Open-Source-Software handelt. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich die Art und Weise, wie ?ber Lizenzen und Lizenzmodelle nachgedacht wird, grundlegend ver?ndert. Es ist nicht mehr notwendig, klobige Disketten zu kopieren, die zudem nur wenige Daten enthalten k?nnen. Auch der Kopierschutz von anderen Datentr?gern, wie beispielsweise CDs und DVDs, konnte in der Vergangenheit einfacher als gedacht umgangen werden. Zudem f?rdert die Technologie des Internets den Austausch – auch von gro?en Datenmengen – in kurzer Zeit. Nie war es einfacher und schneller m?glich, Software zu kopieren. Neben theoretischen Aspekten wird auch die Implementierung von Methoden und Frameworks gezeigt und daraufhin untersucht, ob deren Einsatz lohnenswert ist. Einige dieser Methoden und Frameworks sind der Unique Finger Print, der Software Protector und Portable.Licensing. Schwerpunktm??ig werden die Themengebiete rund um die Implementierung von Lizenzmodellen f?r Desktop- oder Netzwerkanwendungen behandelt. Die Lizenzierung von Cloud- oder Web-Diensten geh?rt nicht zum Fokus dieses devbooks. Viele der Themen sind dennoch allgemeing?ltig oder ?bertragbar, da auch bei den genannten Anwendungsgebieten lokale oder verteilte Lizenzen n?tzlich sind.

While improvement science has experienced a surge of interest over the past 30 years, applications of it are rare in the evaluation literature. This issue promotes the cross-fertilization of ideas, techniques, and tools between evaluation and improvement science. There are at least four areas where this cross-fertilization is particularly relevant: learning from error, examining variation, appreciating context, and focusing on systems change. This volume considers: the conceptual similarities and distinctions between improvement science and evaluation; the intellectual foundations, methods, and tools that collectively comprise improvement science; and case chapters that offer an inspiring review of state-of-the-art improvement science applications. Cutting across all of these applications is a shared grounding in systems thinking, a determination to capture and better understand variation and contextual complexity, as well as a sustained commitment to generative learning about projects and programs—all issues of great concern to evaluators. The issue offers producers and users of evaluations the potential benefits of a closer engagement with improvement science. This is the 153rd issue in the New Directions for Evaluation series from Jossey-Bass. It is an official publication ofthe American Evaluation Association.

High response rates have traditionally been considered as one of the main indicators of survey quality. Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias. In this book the authors argue that high response rates should not be seen as a goal in themselves, but rather as part of an overall survey quality strategy based on random probability sampling and aimed at minimising nonresponse bias. Key features of Improving Survey Response: A detailed coverage of nonresponse issues, including a unique examination of cross-national survey nonresponse processes and outcomes. A discussion of the potential causes of nonresponse and practical strategies to combat it. A detailed examination of the impact of nonresponse and of techniques for adjusting for it once it has occurred. Examples of best practices and experiments drawn from 25 European countries. Supplemented by the European Social Survey (ESS) websites, containing materials for the measurement and analysis of nonresponse based on detailed country-level response process datasets. The book is designed to help survey researchers and those commissioning surveys by explaining how to prioritise the reduction of nonresponse bias rather than focusing on increasing the overall response rate. It shows substantive researchers how nonresponse can impact on substantive outcomes.

The ongoing discussion about reaching the «peak-oil point» (maximal delivery rate with conventional methods) emphasizes a fundamental change of the frame conditions of oil-based basic products. The alternative with the largest potential is the use of coal. Coal gasification is the production of coal gas (a mixture of mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from coal adding agents like steam/water and oxygen, which can be used in a number of industrial processes (e.g. hydroformulation and Fischer-Tropsch process). Many different kinds of coal do naturally occur, and due to shrinking natural resources, there has been a substantial gain of interest in poor, ash-rich coal. Beside the quality of coal, there is a number of other parameters influencing the efficiency of coal gasification, such as temperature, pressure, and reactor type. Although several books dealing with the subject of gasification have recently been published, few are strictly focussed on coal as feedstock. This monograph provides the reader with the necessary chemical background on coal gasification. Several types of coal (baseline coal and ash-rich coal) are compared systematically, pointing out the technological efforts achieved so far to overcome this challenge. Using a new, innovative order scheme to evaluate the gasification process at a glance (the ternary diagram), the complex network of chemistry, engineering, and economic needs can be overviewed in a highly efficient way. This book is a must-have for Chemical and Process Engineers, Engineering Students, as well as Scientists in the Chemical Industry.

Modern science is at a tipping point. A new page in the history of knowledge opens with the “information paradigm”, a notion which is gradually supplanting the old mechanistic vision inherited from Galileo and Newton. The author presents an overview of the place of information and communications in our time, explaining some reasons for focusing on these two notions. All areas of knowledge are concerned: philosophy, social sciences, biology, medicine, as well as physics, the so-called “queen of sciences”, from quantum to cosmos. This book is intended for scientific scholars as well as those with just a general interest who are anxious to understand the major evolutions that are taking shape in fields of knowledge in the 21st Century.

Provides an important framework for data analysts in assessing the quality of data and its potential to provide meaningful insights through analysis Analytics and statistical analysis have become pervasive topics, mainly due to the growing availability of data and analytic tools. Technology, however, fails to deliver insights with added value if the quality of the information it generates is not assured. Information Quality (InfoQ) is a tool developed by the authors to assess the potential of a dataset to achieve a goal of interest, using data analysis. Whether the information quality of a dataset is sufficient is of practical importance at many stages of the data analytics journey, from the pre-data collection stage to the post-data collection and post-analysis stages. It is also critical to various stakeholders: data collection agencies, analysts, data scientists, and management. This book: Explains how to integrate the notions of goal, data, analysis and utility that are the main building blocks of data analysis within any domain. Presents a framework for integrating domain knowledge with data analysis. Provides a combination of both methodological and practical aspects of data analysis. Discusses issues surrounding the implementation and integration of InfoQ in both academic programmes and business / industrial projects. Showcases numerous case studies in a variety of application areas such as education, healthcare, official statistics, risk management and marketing surveys. Presents a review of software tools from the InfoQ perspective along with example datasets on an accompanying website. This book will be beneficial for researchers in academia and in industry, analysts, consultants, and agencies that collect and analyse data as well as undergraduate and postgraduate courses involving data analysis.

Uncover the mysteries that lie within your calculator This remarkable book explores the simple internal calculator processes—algorithms and programs—that tell us, for example, that the cosine of 56? is 0.5591929035. Using carefully constructed diagrams and figures, the author effectively demonstrates how calculator keys compute powers, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry functions, while also providing insights into simple programming, the conversion between decimal and binary numeration, and perhaps most importantly, the structure of our numeration systems. Many people believe that the processes that drive calculators demand advanced mathematical concepts; however, this book proves that a minimal understanding of algebra and geometry is all that is needed to follow the step-by-step explanations of how scientific calculators work. Inside Your Calculator: From Simple Programs to Significant Insights is a complete and multifaceted exercise in critical thinking. This book features: A detailed explanation of how to use a graphics calculator and program basic functions A discussion of the history of mathematics when appropriate, which provides a foundation for further learning Fundamental mathematical lessons and interesting applications of pre-calculus mathematics A thorough review of the fundamentals of programming, algebra, and geometry needed to gain insight into why the algorithms work and how the results are meaningful in our lives While the simultaneous use of a calculator is not needed to gain insight into how the algorithms work, those who do have a programmable graphics calculator can experiment with the programs presented in the book. These programs may be used on TI-84 and TI-83 calculators, and additional information for other Texas Instruments calculators as well as the Casio FX series is available on the book's related web site. As a result of over fifty years of award-winning teaching experience in both high school and college classrooms, Dr. Rising anticipates and answers potential questions from readers, and he successfully brings this subject alive in an illuminating and entertaining way. This book is therefore not only ideal for undergraduate mathematics majors as either a primary or supplemental text, but it also appeals to anyone with an interest in mathematics and its ideas.

Actores, directores, escritores, bailarines, monologuistas, entre otros, escribieron sus propias Instrucciones para hacer de la ciencia un drama (?o una comedia!). Desde el principio, la intenci?n era romper con las condiciones de una publicaci?n acad?mica, y por eso la invitaci?n fue a escribir una historia in?dita, que los autores no hubieran podido contar en ning?n otro medio, y tambi?n evitar la censura, porque, para fines educativos, las experiencias «fracasadas» fueron altamente valoradas.

Rave reviews for INTEGER AND COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION «This book provides an excellent introduction and survey of traditional fields of combinatorial optimization . . . It is indeed one of the best and most complete texts on combinatorial optimization . . . available. [And] with more than 700 entries, [it] has quite an exhaustive reference list.»-Optima «A unifying approach to optimization problems is to formulate them like linear programming problems, while restricting some or all of the variables to the integers. This book is an encyclopedic resource for such formulations, as well as for understanding the structure of and solving the resulting integer programming problems.»-Computing Reviews «[This book] can serve as a basis for various graduate courses on discrete optimization as well as a reference book for researchers and practitioners.»-Mathematical Reviews «This comprehensive and wide-ranging book will undoubtedly become a standard reference book for all those in the field of combinatorial optimization.»-Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society «This text should be required reading for anybody who intends to do research in this area or even just to keep abreast of developments.»-Times Higher Education Supplement, London Also of interest . . . INTEGER PROGRAMMING Laurence A. Wolsey Comprehensive and self-contained, this intermediate-level guide to integer programming provides readers with clear, up-to-date explanations on why some problems are difficult to solve, how techniques can be reformulated to give better results, and how mixed integer programming systems can be used more effectively. 1998 (0-471-28366-5) 260 pp.

Lo que hoy entendemos por inteligencia artificial est? asociado a la planificaci?n, la comprensi?n del lenguaje, el reconocimiento de objetos y sonidos, la resoluci?n de problemas. Se trata de nuevos algoritmos que conducir?an al aprendizaje acumulativo, emulando de esta manera el aprendizaje a trav?s de la experiencia. En la ?ltima d?cada hemos sido testigos del r?pido progreso de la inteligencia artificial en diversos campos determinantes del quehacer humano. Tal como ocurre con cualquier tecnolog?a, la IA viene acompa?ada de enormes desaf?os y potenciales riesgos para la sociedad, por lo que es imperioso contar con conocimiento relevante que promueva el accionar para reducir o evitar los posibles efectos negativos. Numerosas iniciativas a nivel global dan cuenta de los esfuerzos por establecer formas de gobernanza de la IA para reducir sus potenciales impactos negativos y fortalecer los beneficios que puede brindar a la sociedad en campos como el futuro del trabajo, los sistemas de transporte aut?nomos, la salud, la educaci?n, las finanzas, el comercio, entre otros. Sin duda son muchas las oportunidades que estas tecnolog?as pueden ofrecer, pero sabemos que existe un riesgo real de que, sin una intervenci?n cuidadosa, la IA pueda exacerbar los desequilibrios estructurales, econ?micos, sociales y pol?ticos, y reforzar a?n m?s las desigualdades basadas en diferentes variables demogr?ficas (incluyendo etnicidad, raza, g?nero, identidad sexual y de g?nero, religi?n, nacionalidad, edad y nivel educativo o socioecon?mico) y as? impactar negativamente las vidas de muchos j?venes en el mundo, y en el caso particular que nos ocupa, de la juventud latinoamericana. Es por esto tambi?n que los estudios en la regi?n adquieren suma relevancia, ya que estas tecnolog?as son creadas principalmente en pa?ses como Estados Unidos y China, lo que extiende las brechas no s?lo en lo referente al acceso, sino en c?mo estos sistemas est?n siendo dise?ados, pensados y su consecuente impacto.

Despu?s de los ?xitos de Inteligencia emocional e Inteligencia social, Daniel Goleman introduce el revolucionario concepto de inteligencia ecol?gica: la comprensi?n de los impactos ecol?gicos ocultos y la determinaci?n de mejorarlos.Independientemente de que seamos un simple consumidor, el jefe de compras de una empresa o un director de producto, el conocimiento del impacto ecol?gico de lo que adquirimos, fabricamos o vendemos es fundamental para tomar decisiones m?s acordes con nuestros valores y, as?, influir positivamente en nuestro futuro y en el del planeta.Para los consumidores, la inteligencia ecol?gica es la llave que nos permite inclinar la balanza del mercado hacia ingredientes, tecnolog?as y dise?os que respeten nuestros valores. Para las empresas, la inteligencia ecol?gica significa modificar los procesos industriales teniendo en cuenta sus consecuencias medioambientales. Para el empresario del siglo XXI el reto consiste en lograr la transparencia radical del producto. De esta manera, el mundo del comercio puede ir corrigi?ndose, no s?lo en nombre de la responsabilidad, sino tambi?n en el de su b?squeda del beneficio, desbloqueando al fin el viejo antagonismo entre los objetivos de la empresa y los del inter?s p?blico.Inteligencia ecol?gica aporta las claves necesarias para convertirnos en jugadores activos en determinar el curso del planeta, de nuestra salud y de nuestro destino com?n.

How we interface and interact with computing, communications and entertainment devices is going through revolutionary changes, with natural user inputs based on touch, voice, and vision replacing or augmenting the use of traditional interfaces based on the keyboard, mouse, joysticks, etc. As a result, displays are morphing from one-way interface devices that merely show visual content to two-way interaction devices that provide more engaging and immersive experiences. This book provides an in-depth coverage of the technologies, applications, and trends in the rapidly emerging field of interactive displays enabled by natural human-interfaces. Key features: Provides a definitive reference reading on all the touch technologies used in interactive displays, including their advantages, limitations, and future trends. Covers the fundamentals and applications of speech input, processing and recognition techniques enabling voice-based interactions. Offers a detailed review of the emerging vision-based sensing technologies, and user interactions using gestures of hands, body, face, and eye gazes. Discusses multi-modal natural user interface schemes which intuitively combine touch, voice, and vision for life-like interactions. Examines the requirements and technology status towards realizing “true” 3D immersive and interactive displays.
