A SAS Information Map is business metadata about your data. Information maps are user-friendly metadata definitions of data sources and enable your business users to query data in order to meet specific business needs. Metadata is information about the structure and...
Approximate Global Convergence and Adaptivity for Coefficient Inverse Problems is the first book in which two new concepts of numerical solutions of multidimensional Coefficient Inverse Problems (CIPs) for a hyperbolic Partial Differential Equation (PDE) are presented: Approximate Global Convergence and the Adaptive Finite Element...
This is the first book which exploits concepts and tools of global nonlinear dynamics for bridging the gap between theoretical and practical stability of systems/structures, and for possibly enhancing the engineering design in macro-, micro- and nano-mechanics. Addressed topics include complementing theoretical and practical stability to achieve...
When we, the authors of this book, first learned what Microsoft’s plans were for Analysis Services in the SQL Server 2012 release, we were not happy. Analysis Services hadn’t acquired much in the way of new features since 2005, even though in the meantime it had grown to become the biggest-selling OLAP tool. It seemed as...
The sequel to the popular lecture book entitled Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking, this book on Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation tackles the challenging task of segmenting biological and medical images. The problem of partitioning multidimensional biomedical data into meaningful regions is perhaps the main roadblock in the automation of...
It is the argument of this book that the contemporary Progressive movement in the United States, designed to replace the Liberalism whose demise was the object and accomplishment of the Reagan Revolution, is the product of a series of strategic experiments and decisions by activists in organized labor, in the environmental and human rights...
What is e-collaboration? Although this term means many things to many people, Ned Kock broadly defines it as “collaboration among individuals engaged in a common task using electronic technologies.” E-collaboration is not limited to computer-mediated communication (also known as CMC), or computer-supported cooperative work (known...
The analysis of experimental data is at heart of science from its beginnings.
But it was the advent of digital computers in the second half of the 20th
century that revolutionized scientific data analysis twofold: Tedious pencil
and paper work could be successively transferred to the emerging software
applications so sweat and tears...
"...this book may serve as a useful reference for scientists and engineers who need to understand the concepts of clustering in general and/or to focus on text mining applications. It is also appropriate for students who are attending a course in pattern recognition, data mining, or classification and are interested in learning more about...
The most comprehensive introduction to the core concepts and methods of data warehousing
Data warehouses provide a much-needed strategy for organizations to collect, store, and analyze vast amounts of business data. As businesses expand both brick-and-mortar and online activities, the field of data warehousing has become increasingly important....
