Network monitoring serves as basis for a wide scope of network operations, engineering and management. Precise network monitoring involves inspecting every packet traversing in a network. However, this is infeasible in today’s and future high-speed networks, due to significant overheads of processing, storing, and transferring...

Signal Processing for Wireless Communications offers communications engineers an application-focused guide to the essential concepts and techniques of wireless signal processing. This comprehensive...

Nonparametric function estimation with stochastic data, otherwise known as smoothing, has been studied by several generations of statisticians. Assisted by the ample computing power in today's servers, desktops, and laptops, smoothing methods have been finding their ways into everyday data analysis by practitioners. While scores of...

This is a textbook for a first- or second-year graduate course for electrical and computer engineering (ECE) students in the area of digital image and video processing and coding. The course might be called Digital Image and Video Processing (DIVP) or some such, and has its heritage in the signal processing and communications areas of...

Practical OpenCV is a hands-on project book that shows you how to get the best results from OpenCV, the open-source computer vision library.

Computer vision is key to technologies like object recognition, shape detection, and depth estimation. OpenCV is an open-source library with over 2500 algorithms that you...

Books on regression and the analysis of variance abound-many are introductory, many are theoretical. While most of them do serve a purpose, the fact remains that data analysis cannot be properly learned without actually doing it, and this means using a statistical software package. There are many of these to choose from as well, all with...

Exercise by itself tears down the body. To rebuild that body so that it expresses greater strength, endurance, and speed, requires sound nutritional practices based on fact rather than fad. Those practices must also recognize that specific needs vary greatly according to age, gender, and intensity of exercise.

Sports...

Based on a streamlined presentation of the authors' successful work Linear Systems, this textbook provides an introduction to systems theory with an emphasis on control. The material presented is broad enough to give the reader a clear picture of the dynamical behavior of linear systems as well as their advantages and...

Iterative processes have gained widespread acceptance because they help software developers reduce risk and cost, manage change, improve...

Written especially for psychometricians, scale developers, and practitioners interested in applications of Bayesian estimation and model checking of item response theory (IRT) models, this book teaches you how to accomplish all of this with the SAS MCMC Procedure. Because of its tutorial structure, Bayesian Analysis of Item Response...
