Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in one text, this handy pedagogical reference presents comprehensive inference strategies for organizing disparate nonparametric statistics topics under one scheme, illustrating ways of analyzing data sets based on generic notions of proximity (of "closeness") between objects. Assignment Methods in Combinatorial Data Analysis specifically reviews both linear and quadratic assignment models ... covers extensions to multiple object sets and higher-order assignment indices ... considers methods of applying linear assignment models in common data analysis contexts ... discusses a second motion of assignment (or "matching") based upon pairs of objects ... explores confirmatory methods of augmenting multidimensional sealing, cluster analysis, and related techniques ... labels sections in order of priority for continuity and convenience ... and includes extensive bibliographies of related literature. Assignment Methods in Combinatorial Data Analysis gives authoritative coverage of statistical testing, and measures of association in a single source. It is required reading and an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students in the behavioral and social sciences using quantitative methods of data representation. Book jacket.

Download or read book Foundations and Methods in Combinatorial and Statistical Data Analysis and Clustering written by Israël César Lerman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original and broad exploration of the fundamental methods in Clustering and Combinatorial Data Analysis, presenting new formulations and ideas within this very active field. With extensive introductions, formal and mathematical developments and real case studies, this book provides readers with a deeper understanding of the mutual relationships between these methods, which are clearly expressed with respect to three facets: logical, combinatorial and statistical. Using relational mathematical representation, all types of data structures can be handled in precise and unified ways which the author highlights in three stages: Clustering a set of descriptive attributes Clustering a set of objects or a set of object categories Establishing correspondence between these two dual clusterings Tools for interpreting the reasons of a given cluster or clustering are also included. Foundations and Methods in Combinatorial and Statistical Data Analysis and Clustering will be a valuable resource for students and researchers who are interested in the areas of Data Analysis, Clustering, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery.

This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The convergence of biology and computer science was initially motivated by the need to organize and process a growing number of biological observations resulting from rapid advances in experimental techniques. Today, however, close collaboration between biologists, biochemists, medical researchers, and computer scientists has also generated remarkable benefits for the field of computer science. Systemic Approaches in Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology: Recent Advances presents new techniques that have resulted from the application of computer science methods to the organization and interpretation of biological data. The book covers three subject areas: bioinformatics, computational biology, and computational systems biology. It focuses on recent, systemic approaches in computer science and mathematics that have been used to model, simulate, and more generally, experiment with biological phenomena at any scale.

Book excerpt: Exploring the application and formulation of the EM algorithm, The EM Algorithm and Related Statistical Models offers a valuable method for constructing statistical models when only incomplete information is available, and proposes specific estimation algorithms for solutions to incomplete data problems. The text covers current topics including statistical models with latent variables, as well as neural network models, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. It describes software resources valuable for the processing of the EM algorithm with incomplete data and for general analysis of latent structure models of categorical data, and studies accelerated versions of the EM algorithm.

Download or read book Business Analytics with Management Science Models and Methods written by Arben Asllani and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2015 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about prescriptive analytics. It provides business practitioners and students with a selected set of management science and optimization techniques and discusses the fundamental concepts, methods, and models needed to understand and implement these techniques in the era of Big Data. A large number of management science models exist in the body of literature today. These models include optimization techniques or heuristics, static or dynamic programming, and deterministic or stochastic modeling. The topics selected in this book, mathematical programming and simulation modeling, are believed to be among the most popular management science tools, as they can be used to solve a majority of business optimization problems. Over the years, these techniques have become the weapon of choice for decision makers and practitioners when dealing with complex business systems.
Download or read book Seriation in Combinatorial and Statistical Data Analysis written by Israël César Lerman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers an original broad and very diverse exploration of the seriation domain in data analysis, together with building a specific relation to clustering. Relative to a data table crossing a set of objects and a set of descriptive attributes, the search for orders which correspond respectively to these two sets is formalized mathematically and statistically. State-of-the-art methods are created and compared with classical methods and a thorough understanding of the mutual relationships between these methods is clearly expressed. The authors distinguish two families of methods: Geometric representation methods Algorithmic and Combinatorial methods Original and accurate methods are provided in the framework for both families. Their basis and comparison is made on both theoretical and experimental levels. The experimental analysis is very varied and very comprehensive. Seriation in Combinatorial and Statistical Data Analysis has a unique character in the literature falling within the fields of Data Analysis, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. It will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the latter fields.

Download or read book Combinatorial Inference in Geometric Data Analysis written by Brigitte Le Roux and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometric Data Analysis designates the approach of Multivariate Statistics that conceptualizes the set of observations as a Euclidean cloud of points. Combinatorial Inference in Geometric Data Analysis gives an overview of multidimensional statistical inference methods applicable to clouds of points that make no assumption on the process of generating data or distributions, and that are not based on random modelling but on permutation procedures recasting in a combinatorial framework. It focuses particularly on the comparison of a group of observations to a reference population (combinatorial test) or to a reference value of a location parameter (geometric test), and on problems of homogeneity, that is the comparison of several groups for two basic designs. These methods involve the use of combinatorial procedures to build a reference set in which we place the data. The chosen test statistics lead to original extensions, such as the geometric interpretation of the observed level, and the construction of a compatibility region. Features: Defines precisely the object under study in the context of multidimensional procedures, that is clouds of points Presents combinatorial tests and related computations with R and Coheris SPAD software Includes four original case studies to illustrate application of the tests Includes necessary mathematical background to ensure it is self–contained This book is suitable for researchers and students of multivariate statistics, as well as applied researchers of various scientific disciplines. It could be used for a specialized course taught at either master or PhD level.
