Download or read book Assignment Methods in Combinational Data Analysis written by Lawrence Hubert and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1986-09-29 with total page 350 pages. 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.

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 Multi Objective Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Solution Methods written by Mehdi Toloo and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Solution Methods discusses the results of a recent multi-objective combinatorial optimization achievement that considered metaheuristic, mathematical programming, heuristic, hyper heuristic and hybrid approaches. In other words, the book presents various multi-objective combinatorial optimization issues that may benefit from different methods in theory and practice. Combinatorial optimization problems appear in a wide range of applications in operations research, engineering, biological sciences and computer science, hence many optimization approaches have been developed that link the discrete universe to the continuous universe through geometric, analytic and algebraic techniques. This book covers this important topic as computational optimization has become increasingly popular as design optimization and its applications in engineering and industry have become ever more important due to more stringent design requirements in modern engineering practice. - Presents a collection of the most up-to-date research, providing a complete overview of multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems and applications - Introduces new approaches to handle different engineering and science problems, providing the field with a collection of related research not already covered in the primary literature - Demonstrates the efficiency and power of the various algorithms, problems and solutions, including numerous examples that illustrate concepts and algorithms

This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly affected by globalization and internationalization, with implications for language use, teaching and learning in their academic communities. As a consequence, HEIs may change their approach to multilingualism on campus, taking into account language needs as well as opportunities and challenges associated with language diversity. The book aims at discussing aspects for the design of language policies, which could support internationalization and promote multilingualism and participation of different stakeholders. By presenting a language policy model, the book provides an alternative for those engaged in language diversity in HEIs.
