Graphentheoretische Methoden und ihre Anwendungen by Professor Dr. Walter Knödel (auth.)

By Professor Dr. Walter Knödel (auth.)

Im letzten Jahrzehnt hat die Mathematisierung von Fachgebieten, die vorher heuristisch bearbeitet wurden, große Fortschritte erzielt. Dies gilt für das Straßenverkehrswesen ebenso wie für die Steuerung und überwachung umfangreicher Projekte. Meist handelt es sich darum, aufgrund eines Modells der Wirklichkeit Entscheidungen zu treffen, die eine Zielfunktion optimieren. Dabei kann die Anzahl der möglichen Entscheidungen endlich sein, wie bei der Frage, in welcher Reihenfolge vier Orte besucht werden sollen, damit die zurückgelegte Strecke mög­ lichst klein wird; oder das Modell kann sich der abstrakten Vorstellung unendlich vieler Möglichkeiten bedienen, wie bei der Auswahl eines Zeitpunkts aus einer kontinuierlich ablaufenden Zeit. Die endlichen Modelle können bei aller Verschiedenheit wegen ihres kombinatorischen Charakters vorteilhaft mit· graphentheoretischen Methoden behandelt werden. Der vorliegende Band liefert dafür exemplarische Beispiele. Die Aus­ wahl erfolgte dabei aufgrund meiner persönlichen Neigung und Erfah­ rungen, so daß Probleme der Straßenverkehrstechnik im Vordergrund stehen. Ordnungsgesichtspunkt bei der Gliederung des Stoffes waren jedoch nicht die Anwendungsgebiete, sondern die verwendeten Modelle und Methoden, wie es sich in den Überschriften der Kapitel 2 - five wider­ spiegelt. Die Methoden sind bis zu rechenfähigen Algorithmen ausge­ arbeitet. Meine Absicht warfare verständliche Darstellung der Zusammen­ hänge und Fassung des Erarbeiteten in Rechenvorschriften, nicht aber eine bloß rezeptmäßige Aufzählung von Techniken. In Kapitell sind die benützten graphentheoretischen Begriffe für den Nichtmathematiker zusammengestellt und erklärt.

Microeconometrics: Methods and Applications by A. Colin Cameron, Pravin K. Trivedi

By A. Colin Cameron, Pravin K. Trivedi

This e-book offers the main finished remedy to this point of microeconometrics, the research of individual-level info at the fiscal habit of people or organizations utilizing regression tools for move part and panel information. The e-book is orientated to the practitioner. A easy realizing of the linear regression version with matrix algebra is thought. The textual content can be utilized for a microeconometrics path, ordinarily a second-year economics PhD direction; for data-oriented utilized microeconometrics box classes; and as a reference paintings for graduate scholars and utilized researchers who desire to fill in gaps of their toolkit. Distinguishing beneficial properties of the booklet comprise emphasis on nonlinear versions and strong inference, simulation-based estimation, and difficulties of advanced survey info. The ebook makes widespread use of numerical examples in response to generated information to demonstrate the most important types and strategies. extra considerably, it systematically integrates into the textual content empirical illustrations according to seven huge and enormously wealthy info sets.

Reviews:

"This publication provides a sublime and available therapy of the large variety of swiftly increasing themes presently being studied through microeconometricians. considerate, intuitive, and cautious in laying out imperative techniques of refined econometric methodologies, it's not purely an outstanding textbook for college students, but in addition a useful reference textual content for practitioners and researchers." -Cheng Hsiao, college of Southern California

"Cameron and Trivedi have written a remarkably thorough and up to date remedy of microeconometric tools. this isn't a superficial cookbook; the early chapters rigorously lay the theoretical foundations on which the authors construct their dialogue of tools for discrete and restricted based variables and for research of longitudinal information. a particular characteristic of the ebook is its cognizance to state-of-the-art subject matters like semiparametric regression, bootstrap tools, simulation-based estimation, and empirical probability estimation. A hugely invaluable book." -Gary Solon, college of Michigan

How? Prediction is powered via the world's so much powerful, flourishing unnatural resource: info. gathered largely because the derivative of regimen projects, information is the unsalted, flavorless residue deposited en masse as businesses churn away. shock! This heap of refuse is a gold mine. Big data embodies a unprecedented wealth of expertise from which to learn.

Predictive Analytics
 unleashes the facility of information. With this technology, the machine actually learns from information the right way to are expecting the long run habit of people. ideal prediction isn't really attainable, yet placing odds at the destiny drives hundreds of thousands of choices extra successfully, deciding upon whom to name, mail, examine, incarcerate, manage on a date, or medicate.

For destiny hands-on practitioners pursuing a occupation within the box, it units a robust starting place, grants the prerequisite wisdom, and whets your urge for food for more.

A actually omnipresent technology, predictive analytics continually impacts our day-by-day lives. no matter if you're a purchaser of it — or ate up by means of it — get a deal with at the energy of Predictive Analytics.
