Download or read book Matrices written by Shmuel Friedland and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume deals with advanced topics in matrix theory using the notions and tools from algebra, analysis, geometry and numerical analysis. It consists of seven chapters that are loosely connected and interdependent. The choice of the topics is very personal and reflects the subjects that the author was actively working on in the last 40 years. Many results appear for the first time in the volume. Readers will encounter various properties of matrices with entries in integral domains, canonical forms for similarity, and notions of analytic, pointwise and rational similarity of matrices with entries which are locally analytic functions in one variable. This volume is also devoted to various properties of operators in inner product space, with tensor products and other concepts in multilinear algebra, and the theory of non-negative matrices. It will be of great use to graduate students and researchers working in pure and applied mathematics, bioinformatics, computer science, engineering, operations research, physics and statistics."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muriel Healy and her husband Thomas are in the process of moving their family from Richmond Virginia to Charleston, South Carolina. Muriel once believed she and her husband had the perfect life together. This belief is shattered when she discovers her husband is having an affair with one of his college students. Their relocation to Charleston is an agreed upon attempt to reconcile and save their marriage. In the middle of this move Muriel’s world is further turned upside down by some grim news from her sisters concerning their father. Dying of cancer, Muriel’s father’s end is now near. Muriel and her family divert their travels from Charleston and rush to be by her father’s side during his final hours. Her dad regains consciousnesses long enough to caution Muriel not to make the move to Charleston. He reveals to her a family secret concerning her mother when they too lived in Charleston many years ago. His revelation describes the demonic possession of her mother by the Demon of Lust – Asmodeus. Muriel’s father dies right after his startling disclosure. Stunned by her father’s words, Muriel turns to Catholic priest Kevin Brennon for guidance. A family friend, Father Brennon confirms her dad’s fears and concerns. He also reveals his own involvement from the past in an unsanctioned exorcism of Muriel’s mother; an attempt to rid her of the evil possession from this lustful demon. Future events will lead Brennon to fear his fiendish nemesis may be returning. He worries an evil, demonic cycle may continue through a new generation of this troubled family. He understands if he’s right, Muriel may be destined to become the next victim of the depraved, wicked debauchery known as The Devil’s Sin. Muriel and her family make their move to Charleston despite her father’s warnings. She will face demonic possession and become a portal for the demon Asmodeus to enter the world of the living for his own decadent exploits of sexual and degenerate desire. Without help Muriel will continue to digress into the world of sinful lust and malevolent evil. Depraved violence, murder and sexual lust will abound as Muriel struggles to survive her own possession from one of Satan’s most powerful and perverted demons.

Download or read book Machine Learning for Asset Managers written by Marcos M. López de Prado and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful investment strategies are specific implementations of general theories. An investment strategy that lacks a theoretical justification is likely to be false. Hence, an asset manager should concentrate her efforts on developing a theory rather than on backtesting potential trading rules. The purpose of this Element is to introduce machine learning (ML) tools that can help asset managers discover economic and financial theories. ML is not a black box, and it does not necessarily overfit. ML tools complement rather than replace the classical statistical methods. Some of ML's strengths include (1) a focus on out-of-sample predictability over variance adjudication; (2) the use of computational methods to avoid relying on (potentially unrealistic) assumptions; (3) the ability to "learn" complex specifications, including nonlinear, hierarchical, and noncontinuous interaction effects in a high-dimensional space; and (4) the ability to disentangle the variable search from the specification search, robust to multicollinearity and other substitution effects.

Book excerpt: Software reverse engineering is a complex process that incorporates different techniques involving static and dynamic analyses of software programs. Numerous tools are available that help reverse engineers in automating the dynamic analysis process. However, the process of static analysis remains a challenging and tedious process for reverse engineers. The static analysis process requires a great amount of manual work. Therefore, it is very demanding and time-consuming. One aspect of reverse engineering that provides reverse engineers with useful information regarding a statically analyzed piece of code is function fingerprinting. Binary code fingerprinting is a challenging problem that requires an in-depth analysis of internal binary code components for deriving identifiable and expressive signatures. Binary code fingerprints are helpful in the reverse engineering process and have various security applications such as malware variant detection, malware clustering, binary auditing, function recognition, and library identification. Moreover, binary code fingerprinting is also useful in automating some reverse engineering tasks such as clone detection, library function identification, code similarity, authorship attribution, etc. In addition, code fingerprints are valuable in cyber forensics as well as the process of patch analysis in order to identify patches or make sure that the patch complies with the security requirements.In this thesis, we propose a binary function fingerprinting and matching approach and implement a tool named BinSign based on the proposed approach that enhances and accelerates the reverse engineering process. The main objective of BinSign is to provide an accurate and scalable solution to binary code fingerprinting by computing and matching structural and syntactic code profiles for disassemblies while outperforming existing techniques. The structural profile of binary code is captured through decomposing the control-flow-graph of a function into tracelets. We describe the underlying methodology and evaluate its performance in several use cases, including function matching, function reuse, library function detection, malware analysis, and function indexing scalability. We also provide some insights into the effects of different optimization levels and obfuscation techniques on our fingerprint matching methodology. Additionally, we emphasize the scalability aspect of BinSign that is achieved through applying locality sensitive hashing, filtering techniques, and distributing the computations across several machines. The min-hashing process is combined with the banding technique of locality sensitive hashing in order to ensure a scalable and efficient fingerprint matching process. We perform our experiments on a database of 6 million functions that includes well-known libraries, malware samples, and some dynamic library files obtained from the Microsoft Windows operating system. The indexing process of fingerprints is distributed across multiple machines and it requires an average time of 0.0072 seconds per function. A comparison is also conducted with relevant existing tools, which shows that BinSign achieves a higher accuracy than these tools.
