This book delivers theoretical and practical knowledge on extension of Genetic Programming (GP) for practical applications. It provides a methodology for  integrating Genetic Programming and machine-learning techniques. The developmentof such tools contributes to the establishment of a more robust evolutionary framework when addressing...

This book has its origin in lecture notes created at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), whose student and faculty support made The book is written for senior undergraduates and first dents. Practicing engineers should especially find the book the basic knowledge of detection and estimation theory. the text deals with detection aspects,...

MATLAB®, now the industry-standard engineering language for computation, analysis, and visualization, continues to evolve in its capabilities. Version 6.x incorporated several major improvements, including significant enhancements to its graphics features, such as transparencies, increased 3-D visualization, and an improved rendering...

Due to advances in sensor, storage, and networking technologies, data is being generated on a daily basis at an ever-increasing pace in a wide range of applications, including cloud computing, mobile Internet, and medical imaging. This large multidimensional data requires more efficient dimensionality reduction schemes than the traditional...

The first edition of 3D Game Engine Design was an international bestseller that sold over 17,000 copies and became an industry standard. In the six years since that book was published, graphics hardware has evolved enormously. Hardware can now be directly controlled through techniques such as shader programming, which...

Approaching computational statistics through its theoretical aspects can be daunting. Often intimidated or distracted by the theory, researchers and students can lose sight of the actual goals and applications of the subject. What they need are its key concepts, an understanding of its methods, experience with its implementation, and practice...

Modeling and Computation in Engineering II (CMCE 2013, Hong Kong, 22-23 June 2013) includes 50 contributions on modeling and simulation technology, which were presented at the 2nd SREE Conference on Modeling and Computation in Engineering (CMCE 2013) and the 3rd SREE Workshop on Applied Mechanics and Civil Engineering...

Instead of presenting the standard theoretical treatments that underlie the various numerical methods used by scientists and engineers, Using R for Numerical Analysis in Science and Engineering shows how to use R and its add-on packages to obtain numerical solutions to the complex mathematical problems commonly faced by scientists and...

Because of the wide use of adaptive filtering in digital signal processing and, because most of the modern electronic devices include some type of an adaptive filter, a text that brings forth the fundamentals of this field was necessary. The material and the principles presented in this book are easily accessible to engineers, scientists, and...
