This book 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. It pays careful attention to the role of assumptions so that readers can develop a sophisticated approach to interpreting statistical results. Each chapter begins by identifying the practical goal underlying topics covered and ends with a summary of key ideas and formulas.
Some Neutrosophic Algebraic Structures and Neutrosophic N-Algebraic Structures
This book for the first time introduces neutrosophic groups, neutrosophic semigroups, neutrosophic loops and neutrosophic groupoids and their neutrosophic N-structures. The special feature of this book is that it tries to analyze when the general neutrosophic algebraic structures like loops, semigroups and groupoids satisfy some of the classical theorems for finite groups viz. Lagrange, Sylow, and Cauchy.
Curbing Bailouts: Bank Crises and Democratic Accountability in Comparative Perspective
"Rosas's compelling theory and wide-ranging empirical evidence yield a persuasive but surprising conclusion in light of the financial meltdown of 2008–9. In the event of banking crises, not only do elected governments treat taxpayers better and force bankers and their creditors to pay more for their mistakes, but bankers in democracies are more prudent as a consequence . . . essential reading for all interested in the political economy of crisis and in the future of banking regulation."
The new edition of Ronald Miller and Peter Blair's classic textbook is an essential reference for students and scholars in the input-output research and applications community. The book has been fully revised and updated to reflect important developments in the field since its original publication. New topics covered include SAMs (and extended input-output models) and their connection to input-output data, structural decomposition analysis (SDA), multiplier decompositions, identifying important coefficients, and international input-output models.
This book is an investigation into the problems of generating natural language utterances to satisfy specific goals the speaker has in mind. It is thus an ambitious and significant contribution to research on language generation in artificial intelligence, which has previously concentrated in the main on the problem of translation from an internal semantic representation into the target language. The author’s approach, based on a possible-worlds semantics of an intensional logic of knowledge and action, enables him to develop a formal representation of the effects of illocutionary acts...
