Suitable for a compact course or self-study, Computational Statistics: An Introduction to R illustrates how to use the freely available R software package for data analysis, statistical programming, and graphics. Integrating R code and examples throughout, the text only requires basic knowledge of statistics and computing. This introduction covers one-sample analysis and distribution diagnostics, regression, two-sample problems and comparison of distributions, and multivariate analysis. It uses a range of examples to demonstrate how R can be employed to tackle statistical problems. In addition, the handy appendix includes a collection of R language elements and functions, serving as a quick reference and starting point to access the rich information that comes bundled with R. Accessible to a broad audience, this book explores key topics in data analysis, regression, statistical distributions, and multivariate statistics. Full of examples and with a color insert, it helps...

That TI-Nspire handheld is unlike any math tool you’ve ever seen! Much more than a calculator, it’s a learning aid for mathematics from pre-algebra to calculus. TI-Nspire For Dummies walks you through every amazing feature, showing you how to use this remarkable learning technology. In plain English, you’ll learn everything from how to load the batteries and create a document to how to perform geometric calculations and construct statistical graphs. You’ll be able to: Set up your TI-Nspire, get familiar with the keypad, use the d, e, /, x, c, and b function keys, and configure system settings View graphical, algebraic, numeric, geometric, and written formats Grasp mathematical concepts more easily through multiple and linking representations Recognize how different concepts are linked by watching how a change in one representation appears in others Work with the calculator menu, tools, forms, and variables Create documents, add problems,...

The must-read journal on every designer's desk, "Dot Dot Dot" covers design in the widest possible sense. Steering clear of both commercial portfolio presentations and impenetrable academic theory, it offers intelligent, passionate, and clever writing on the tangled web of influences that determine the shape of contemporary cultural production. Art, music, language, film, literature – you never know what you might discover on its offbeat pages. Featuring a design as unexpected as its contents, "Dot Dot Dot 17" presents new artifacts from its ongoing investigation into the past, present, and future of visual culture.

The Psychology of Learning and Motivation series publishes empirical and theoretical contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning to complex learning and problem solving. Volume 50 is a thematic volume featuring interdisciplinary articles on the topic of moral cognition and decision making. The explosion of research on moral cognition emerging from a variety of different fields: social psychology, judgment and decision making, and even philosophy make this volume extremely timely. This book enables the reader to see how disparate intellectual frameworks can all be brought to bear on a common set of problems. This volume will serve cognitive scientists who want to know more about how cognitive processes operate in the social and moral realms, and how moral cognition may be differentiated from other forms of social reasoning.

Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. Considering the advantages and limitations of both physical and mathematical methods, this book will help you identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. All models require the knowledge of their background, good data and careful interpretation and so this book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include: Open channel systems; Closed conduit flows; Storm drainage systems; Estuaries; Coastal and nearshore structures; Hydraulic structures. An invaluable guide for students and professionals.

“The city is an obvious but confounding object of geographical analysis; urban structure and life are shaped by an astounding array of social, economic, and political dynamics. This volume embraces these complexities of city form in a wide-ranging, readable, well-informed, and highly interdisciplinary analysis of key topics in urban studies. With its fresh approach, this book provides an accessible entry point for the newcomer to urban geography, yet also delivers creative insights for those with greater familiarity.” -Steven K. Herbert, University of Washington “This extraordinary collage of sophisticated essays on key terms in urban geography both provides a conventional basis to and recasts innovatively a burgeoning field in the discipline.”-Roger Keil, co-Editor, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research Key Concepts in Urban Geography is a new kind of textbook that forms part of an innovative set of companion texts for the human geography sub-disciplines. Organized...
