Introduction to Machine Learning Algorithms Basic Principles and Mathematics


Introduction to Machine Learning Algorithms: Basic Principles and Mathematics
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032725916 | 440 pages | True PDF | 25.57 MB
Mathematics is the foundation of machine learning algorithms. To understand the shortcomings of existing algorithms and develop more effective methods, it is essential to understand the mathematical concepts underlying these algorithms and their operational principles. This book serves as an introductory resource, outlining the preliminary concepts and offering insights into the mathematical foundations and operational mechanisms of machine learning algorithms. It describes the basic equations and interrelates the questions arising during practical applications of machine learning with the basic mathematical picture of the algorithms used.

Introducing the Medieval Snail


Introducing the Medieval Snail
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1837723729 | 150 pages | True EPUB | 6.98 MB
When one thinks about medieval animals, snails rarely come to mind. Just as history has long had its biases, so has the study of animals - both have long focused on the 'crowned heads'. A focus on the seemingly insignificant, on the small and the frail, offers a fresh point of view. This book studies the uses and representations of medieval snails, spanning material culture, medicine and gastronomy as well as a great variety of texts and images - taking into consideration bestiaries, sermons, poems and insults, as well as marginalia, sculpture, paintings and painted ceilings. Observing the Middle Ages from the viewpoint of a snail can be surprising, and lead us to delve into material everyday life as well as the core of culture-building. This study concludes with a novel reading of the famed 'snail-combat motif', in which a knight cowers faced with a ferocious mollusc, making a connection between Gothic marginalia and a new, most malleable cultural expression: the meme.

Interest Rates and Asset Values A Case Study in Closed Markets


Interest Rates and Asset Values: A Case Study in Closed Markets
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041341962 | 161 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 6.07 MB
In the complex world of corporate strategy and market dynamics, very few questions are as fundamental as understanding what drives the value of business assets. This book presents the first comprehensive empirical analysis of the causal relationship between interest rates and asset values in closed markets, using the unique example of the UK retail pharmacy sector, a market closed by regulation for over three decades.

Interactively Exploring High-Dimensional Data and Models in R (Chapman & HallCRC The R Series)


Interactively Exploring High-Dimensional Data and Models in R (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series)
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032748444 | 365 pages | True EPUB | 30.03 MB
Most data arrive with more than two numeric variables which means that Descriptionting it on a computer screen or printed page presents a challenge: how do you visually explore for associations between more than two variables? Visualising data provides the opportunity to discover what we never expected, because it requires fewer assumptions to be made. Visualising elements of a model fit is a primary way to diagnose whether the fit matches this data. Two of more numeric variables is considered to be multivariate data, and when there are substantially more we would consider it to be high-dimensional data. This book provides you with the tools to visually explore high dimensions, to uncover associations, clustering and anomalies that may be missed when only using common methods for Descriptionting one or two variables. It also illustrates how to use visualisation to understand how your model is operating on the data, to be able to explain how it is arriving at decisions. To make effective use of this material the reader should have a basic working knowledge of R and some understanding of multivariate statistical methods or machine learning methods. The book could form an independent course on visualization or be used as part of courses on multivariate statistical methods or machine learning.
