Object-Orientation Abstraction and Data Structures Using Scala

Object-Orientation Abstraction and Data Structures Using Scala

Praise for the first edition: The well-written comprehensive book [is] aiming to become a de facto reference for the language and its features and capabilities. The pace is appropriate for beginners; programming concepts are introduced progressively through a range of examples and then used as tools for building applications in various domains including sophisticated data structures and algorithms Highly recommended. Students of all levels faculty and professionals/practitioners. D. Papamichail University of Miami in CHOICE Magazine Mark Lewis Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala was the first textbook to use Scala for introductory CS courses. Fully revised and expanded the new edition of this popular text has been divided into two books. Object-Orientation Abstraction and Data Structures Using Scala Second Edition is intended to be used as a textbook for a second or third semester course in Computer Science. The Scala programming language provides powerful constructs for expressing both object orientation and abstraction. This book provides students with these tools of object orientation to help them structure solutions to larger more complex problems and to expand on their knowledge of abstraction so that they can make their code more powerful and flexible. The book also illustrates key concepts through the creation of data structures showing how data structures can be written and the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Libraries that provide the functionality needed to do real programming are also explored in the text including GUIs multithreading and networking. The book is filled with end-of-chapter projects and exercises and the authors have also posted a number of different supplements on the book website. Video lectures for each chapter in the book are also available on YouTube. The videos show constr

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists: With R and Python is designed as a textbook for a one- or two-term introduction to mathematical statistics for students training to become data scientists. It is an in-depth presentation of the topics in statistical science with which any data scientist should be familiar including probability distributions descriptive and inferential statistical methods and linear modeling. The book assumes knowledge of basic calculus so the presentation can focus on why it works as well as how to do it. Compared to traditional mathematical statistics textbooks however the book has less emphasis on probability theory and more emphasis on using software to implement statistical methods and to conduct simulations to illustrate key concepts. All statistical analyses in the book use R software with an appendix showing the same analyses with Python. Key Features: Shows the elements of statistical science that are important for students who plan to become data scientists. Includes Bayesian and regularized fitting of models (e. g. showing an example using the lasso) classification and clustering and implementing methods with modern software (R and Python). Contains nearly 500 exercises. The book also introduces modern topics that do not normally appear in mathematical statistics texts but are highly relevant for data scientists such as Bayesian inference generalized linear models for non-normal responses (e. g. logistic regression and Poisson loglinear models) and regularized model fitting. The nearly 500 exercises are grouped into Data Analysis and Applications and Methods and Concepts. Appendices introduce R and Python and contain solutions for odd-numbered exercises. The book's website (http://stat4ds. rwth-aachen. de/) has expanded R Python and Matlab appendices and all data sets from the examples and exercises. | Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project

Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project

This book is about building platforms for pandemic prediction. It provides an overview of probabilistic prediction for pandemic modeling based on a data-driven approach. It also provides guidance on building platforms with currently available technology using tools such as R Shiny and interactive plotting programs. The focus is on the integration of statistics and computing tools rather than on an in-depth analysis of all possibilities on each side. Readers can follow different reading paths through the book depending on their needs. The book is meant as a basis for further investigation of statistical modelling implementation tools monitoring aspects and software functionalities. Features: A general but parsimonious class of models to perform statistical prediction for epidemics using a Bayesian approach Implementation of automated routines to obtain daily prediction results How to interactively visualize the model results Strategies for monitoring the performance of the predictions and identifying potential issues in the results Discusses the many decisions required to develop and publish online platforms Supplemented by an R package and its specific functionalities to model epidemic outbreaks The book is geared towards practitioners with an interest in the development and presentation of results in an online platform of statistical analysis of epidemiological data. The primary audience includes applied statisticians biostatisticians computer scientists epidemiologists and professionals interested in learning more about epidemic modelling in general including the COVID-19 pandemic and platform building. The authors are professors at the Statistics Department at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Their research records exhibit contributions applied to a number of areas of Science including Epidemiology. Their research activities include books published with Chapman and Hall/CRC and papers in high quality journals. They have also been involved with academic management of graduate programs in Statistics and one of them is currently the President of the Brazilian Statistical Association. | Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project
