Data Science for Public Policy English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030713512 | 365 Pages | PDF EPUB | 127 MB This textbook presents the essential tools and core concepts of data science to public officials, policy analysts, and economists among others in order to further their application in the public sector. An expansion of the quantitative economics frameworks presented in policy and business schools, this book emphasizes the process of asking relevant questions to inform public policy. Its techniques and approaches emphasize data-driven practices, beginning with the basic programming paradigms that occupy the majority of an analyst's time and advancing to the practical applications of statistical learning and machine learning. The text considers two divergent, competing perspectives to support its applications, incorporating techniques from both causal inference and prediction. Additionally, the book includes open-sourced data as well as live code, written in R and presented in notebook form, which readers can use and modify to practice working with data.

Cook, Taste, Learn : How the Evolution of Science Transformed the Art of Cooking by Guy Crosby Convergence of Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems by Grigore Stamatescu English | PDF | 2021 | 191 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 32.5 MB This preface briefly outlines the objectives of the Special Issue on "Convergence of Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems" published between September 2019 and September 2020 in the journal Sensors. This Special Issue welcomed submissions as extended versions of conference articles published in the proceedings of the "10th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems: Control Charts and Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection in Manufacturing English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030838188 | 270 Pages | PDF | 7 MB This book introduces the latest research on advanced control charts and new machine learning approaches to detect abnormalities in the smart manufacturing process. By approaching anomaly detection using both statistics and machine learning, the book promotes interdisciplinary cooperation between the research communities, to jointly develop new anomaly detection approaches that are more suitable for the 4.0 Industrial Revolution. Contemporary Behaviorisms in Debate English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030773949 | 340 Pages | PDF EPUB | 6 MB This book presents and discusses seven contemporary theoretical approaches to behavior analysis that build upon the foundations laid by B.F. Skinner's radical behaviorism and renew its legacy. These contemporary approaches show that behaviorism is not a monolithic or static intellectual tradition, but a dynamic movement, which changes and adapts in face of new questions, issues, and perspectives. The death of behaviorism has been proclaimed since its early days - a "premature" assessment, to say the least - but this volume shows that behaviorism is alive and kicking, even thirty years after its main proponent passed away. Construction Dispute Research Expanded English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030802558 | 408 Pages | PDF | 8 MB As an expansion of the book "Construction Dispute Research" published in 2014, this book presents further contributions and breaks into three new research foci in construction dispute studies. Part A discusses the conceptualization and minimization of biases in construction dispute decisions; Part B examines other impediments against settlement such as inequity, power asymmetry and loss aversion. Part C focuses on realty check of construction dispute negotiation conditions such as market competition, interdependence of contracting parties and dispute avoidance function of construction incentivization. This book showcases new ideas in construction dispute research. It offers research studies that are theory rich and conducted with robust methodologies. The research implications are practical and implementable.
