Covers all the basic concepts of statistics--descriptive study of data, probability, sampling variation, statistical inference, and special techniques for handling data--and illustrates them with practical examples that stimulate students' appreciation of the subject. Pays careful attention to the role of assumptions so that readers can...

The logic for determining the significance of model numbers for the various Canon DSLR models can appear nonexistent. By inference, we've concluded that the EOS ID series—with its various alphabetic suffixes and Mark qualifiers—is the top-of-the-line professional DSLR body. Other single-digit D- series DSLR bodies are...

This monograph describes the synthesis and use of biologically-inspired artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHNs) for approximation models associated with machine learning and a novel computational algorithm with which to exploit them. The reader is first introduced to various kinds of algorithms designed to deal with approximation problems and...

Digital signal processing plays a central role in the development of modern communication and information processing systems. The theory and application of signal processing is concerned with the identification, modelling and utilisation of patterns and structures in a signal process. The observation signals are often distorted, incomplete...

The book explores how build a mechanical inferences by making use of arithmetic operations on a string of numbers representing statements. In this way logic is reduced to a branch of the combinatory calculus. It covers the field of traditional logic by showing that any kind of inference can be mechanically reduced to three-variables and...

This book examines fuzzy relational calculus theory with applications in various engineering subjects. The scope of the text covers unified and exact methods with algorithms for direct and inverse problem resolution in fuzzy relational calculus. Extensive engineering applications of fuzzy relation compositions and fuzzy linear systems...

Blending theoretical results with practical applications, this book provides an introduction to random matrix theory and shows how it can be used to tackle a variety of problems in wireless communications. The Stieltjes transform method, free probability theory, combinatoric approaches, deterministic equivalents and spectral analysis methods...
