Challenges in Computational Statistics and Data Mining by
This volume contains nineteen research papers belonging to the areas of computational statistics, data mining, and their applications. Those papers, all written specifically for this volume, are their authors' contributions to honour and celebrate Professor Jacek Koronacki on the occcasion of his 70th birthday. The book's related and often interconnected topics, represent Jacek Koronacki's research interests and their evolution. They also clearly indicate how close the areas of computational statistics and data mining are.
Comparative Approaches to Using R and Python for Statistical Data Analysis by
The application of statistics has proliferated in recent years and has become increasingly relevant across numerous fields of study. With the advent of new technologies, its availability has opened into a wider range of users. Comparative Approaches to using R and Python for Statistical Data Analysis is a comprehensive source of emerging research and perspectives on the latest computer software and available languages for the visualization of statistical data. By providing insights on relevant topics, such as inference, factor analysis, and linear regression, this publication is ideally designed for professionals, researchers, academics, graduate students, and practitioners interested in the optimization of statistical data analysis.
Text Mining with MATLAB® by
Text Mining with MATLAB® provides a comprehensive introduction to text mining using MATLAB. It is designed to help text mining practitioners, as well as those with little-to-no experience with text mining in general, familiarize themselves with MATLAB and its complex applications. The book is structured in three main parts: The first part, Fundamentals, introduces basic procedures and methods for manipulating and operating with text within the MATLAB programming environment. The second part of the book, Mathematical Models, is devoted to motivating, introducing, and explaining the two main paradigms of mathematical models most commonly used for representing text data: the statistical and the geometrical approach. Eventually, the third part of the book, Techniques and Applications, addresses general problems in text mining and natural language processing applications such as document categorization, document search, content analysis, summarization, question answering, and conversational systems. This second edition includes updates in line with the recently released "Text Analytics Toolbox" within the MATLAB product and introduces three new chapters and six new sections in existing ones. All descriptions presented are supported with practical examples that are fully reproducible. Further reading, as well as additional exercises and projects, are proposed at the end of each chapter for those readers interested in conducting further experimentation.
