A comprehensive introduction to the most important machine learning approaches used in predictive data analytics, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications.
Machine learning is often used to build predictive models by extracting patterns from large datasets. These models are used in predictive data analytics applications including price prediction, risk assessment, predicting customer behavior, and document classification. This introductory textbook offers a detailed and focused treatment of the most important machine learning approaches used in predictive data analytics, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. Technical and mathematical material is augmented with explanatory worked examples, and case studies illustrate the application of these models in the broader business context.
After discussing the trajectory from data to insight to decision, the book describes four approaches to machine learning: information-based learning, similarity-based learning, probability-based learning, and error-based learning. Each of these approaches is introduced by a nontechnical explanation of the underlying concept, followed by mathematical models and algorithms illustrated by detailed worked examples. Finally, the book considers techniques for evaluating prediction models and offers two case studies that describe specific data analytics projects through each phase of development, from formulating the business problem to implementation of the analytics solution. The book, informed by the authors' many years of teaching machine learning, and working on predictive data analytics projects, is suitable for use by undergraduates in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or statistics; by graduate students in disciplines with applications for predictive data analytics; and as a reference for professionals.

Описание: This book illuminates how "cultural evidence" ("evidence" regarding ethnicity) is negotiated by attorneys, witnesses, and defendants in criminal trials. Braunmuhl argues that the controversy regarding the legitimacy of a "cultural defense" has tended to obscure its origin in colonialist and patriarchal discourses, and has been biased against minorities as well as all women from its inception.
Описание: An unexpected phone call acutely injects the fear of death into view and tests a mother's faith in ways she had not imagined. "Hi Mom, it's Bob." The warm smile that her son Bob's voice typically brought her quickly faded as she learned she could be losing a child to cancer. The phone call revealed her son had multiple myeloma-a cancer of the bone marrow-and there was no cure. Betsy found hope in her faith that God could work a miracle for four years and three months. Unfortunately, prayers did not bring healing, and her son's death broke her heart. Dealing with grief and loss was compounded when a Boston Terrier that had given her extraordinary comfort during this time was lost as well. In this wonderfully written memoir, the author hopes to help someone grieving the loss of a child reaffirm their faith in God. However, she doesn't gloss over the difficulties of dealing with grief and loss during her spiritual journey. Hope abounds, and a journey of renewal begins when a newly acquired Boston Terrier named Ribbons helps Betsy rediscover God's beauty in nature. As Betsy struggles to accept God's will in the loss of her son, she realizes that walking the dog becomes a spiritual journey where the fear of death begins to lose its sting. During walks with Ribbons, she finds comfort in a field of yellow flowers and hope in a morning sunrise. She starts to experience how people heal when God and grief meet. You'll move from moments of deep sorrow to moments where you find the comfort of God's beauty in nature, and renewal in the gift of a bird's joyful song. It's one of those must-read books on grieving the loss of a child that will help people learn to trust in God's wisdom and goodness.

Описание: Despite landmark investments in employee engagement over the past decade and significant economic recovery, even the "best places to work" don't have anything approaching 100% engagement. Why? Because engagement efforts to date have been focused on only half of the individual: who they are as employees. Engagement is dependent on a variety of factors that we can't leave behind when we leave home: our health and wellbeing and that of our children, partners, and elders; our personal values; our intrinsic motivators. These deeply personal factors, as well as fixed traits about us, affect engagement at least as much as work-only factors such as salary and benefits. In this timely and thought-provoking volume, author and engagement expert Bob Kelleher invites individuals and managers alike to expand the conversation about what it means to be truly engaged... as a whole person.
