Statistical Computing with R
Computational statistics and statistical computing are two areas that employ computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solve statistical problems, making the versatile R language an ideal computing environment for these fields. One of the first books on these topics to feature R, Statistical Computing with R covers the traditiona
R by Example
R by Example is an example-based introduction to the statistical computing environment that does not assume any previous familiarity with R or other software packages. R functions are presented in the context of interesting applications with real data. The purpose of this book is to illustrate a range of statistical and probability computations using R for people who are learning, teaching, or using statistics. Specifically, this book is written for users who have covered at least the equivalent of (or are currently studying) undergraduate level calculus-based courses in statistics. These users are learning or applying exploratory and inferential methods for analyzing data and this book is intended to be a useful resource for learning how to implement these procedures in R.
The Energy of Data and Distance Correlation
Energy distance is a statistical distance between the distributions of random vectors, which characterizes equality of distributions. The name energy derives from Newton's gravitational potential energy, and there is an elegant relation to the notion of potential energy between statistical observations. Energy statistics are functions of distances between statistical observations in metric spaces. The authors hope this book will spark the interest of most statisticians who so far have not explored E-statistics and would like to apply these new methods using R. The Energy of Data and Distance Correlation is intended for teachers and students looking for dedicated material on energy statistics...
Statistical Computing with R, Second Edition
Computational statistics and statistical computing are two areas that employ computational, graphical, and numerical approaches to solve statistical problems, making the versatile R language an ideal computing environment for these fields. This second edition continues to encompass the traditional core material of computational statistics, with an
The Society of the Banana in Ohio: A History of the Black Hand
A notorious case of terror and extortion in the Buckeye State In the early 1900s, a criminal society known as the Black Hand became feared across the United States as it extorted hard-working immigrants. In 1908, Agostino Iannarino received a series of threatening letters and when he refused to pay, a bomb exploded at the entrance of his Columbus home. His family fled to Sicily only to continue receiving threats. The following year, U.S. Post Office Inspectors learned that a Black Hand gang called the Society of the Banana was headquartered in Marion, Ohio, and authorities attempted to put an end to the violent outrages occurring across the Midwest. Revealing twenty-four extortion letters written by members of the Society of the Banana, author Shane W. Croston details factual and fatal accounts of the Black Hand.
Rethinking Fascism
This book takes up the stimuli of new international historiography, albeit focusing mainly on the two regimes that undoubtedly provided the model for Fascist movements in Europe, namely the Italian and the German. Starting with a historiographical assessment of the international situation, vis-à-vis studies on Fascism and National Socialism, and then concentrate on certain aspects that are essential to any study of the two dictatorships, namely the complex relationships with their respective societies, the figures of the two dictators and the role of violence. This volume reaches beyond the time-frame encompassing Fascism and National Socialism experiences, directing the attention also towa...
When the Sparrows Stop Singing
Are these the end of days? A group of men with extraordinary gift of prophecy seem to think so as they find disturbing correlating signs in the Book of Revelations regarding the current bird flu virus threat. They pin their hopes in young Frances Casey, who has discovered the strategic location of Israel for intercontinental travel for migratory birds. They have helped her set up an important monitoring station there in the hopes of detecting the bird flu virus in these birds before they can spread it to Europe or Africa, where the chances for viral mutation that will set off the next global flu pandemic are so great. Little do they know that another malevolent group that had discovered an easy way to manufacture tons of the main ingredient to oseltamivir has set out to sabotage Casey's project, fearing her actions may hinder their goal of monetary wealth. Soon, forces of good and evil will meet in the Holy Land to do final battle in Armageddon, presaging the end of the world. An event that will start.when the sparrows stop singing!
