Stochastic Programming

English | 2017 | ISBN-10: 1536109401 | 153 Pages | PDF | 3.37 MB

This book is concerned with fostering theoretical issues on stochastic programming and discussing how it can solve real life problems.
The book presents applications which solve the optimization of concrete problems in electricity markets, market equilibria, resource markets and environments. Each chapter presents a survey on the main results concerned with its contents, and discusses their impact by illustrating how they are applicable in real life. The authors use concrete, real life problems and simulation-motivated experiments for illustrating the behavior of the stochastic models discussed.
The target audience for this title is graduate students or researchers in optimization, approximation, statistics, operations research and computing, as well as professionals dealing with applications where uncertainty may be modeled by using stochastic optimization and academics.
The contributors are well-known specialists in stochastic programming

Mindset Mathematics: Visualizing and Investigating Big Ideas, Grade 5

Jossey-Bass | English | 2018 | ISBN-10: 111935871X | 304 Pages | PDF | 164.13 MB

Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques
The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, you'll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the fifth-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation.
During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message-that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual mathematics tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that:
There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels.
Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth.
Speed is unimportant in mathematics.
Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics.
With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics,
Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

Let the Evidence Speak: Using Bayesian Thinking in Law, Medicine, Ecology and Other Areas

English | PDF | 2018 | 220 Pages | ISBN : 3319713914 | 7.75 MB

This book presents the most important ideas behind Bayes' Rule in a form suitable for the general reader. It is written without formulae because they are not necessary; the ability to add and multiply is all that is needed. As well as showing in full the application of Bayes' Rule to some quantitatively simple, though not trivial, examples, the book also convincingly demonstrates that some familiarity with Bayes' Rule is helpful in thinking about how best to structure one's thinking.

Characterizing Interdependencies of Multiple Time Series: Theory and Applications

English | 2017 | ISBN: 9811064350 | 133 Pages | PDF | 6.4 MB

This book introduces academic researchers and professionals to the basic concepts and methods for characterizing interdependencies of multiple time series in the frequency domain. Detecting causal directions between a pair of time series and the extent of their effects, as well as testing the non existence of a feedback relation between them, have constituted major focal points in multiple time series analysis since Granger introduced the celebrated definition of causality in view of prediction improvement.
Causality analysis has since been widely applied in many disciplines. Although most analyses are conducted from the perspective of the time domain, a frequency domain method introduced in this book sheds new light on another aspect that disentangles the interdependencies between multiple time series in terms of long-term or short-term effects, quantitatively characterizing them. The frequency domain method includes the Granger noncausality test as a special case.
Chapters 2 and 3 of the book introduce an improved version of the basic concepts for measuring the one-way effect, reciprocity, and association of multiple time series, which were originally proposed by Hosoya. Then the statistical inferences of these measures are presented, with a focus on the stationary multivariate autoregressive moving-average processes, which include the estimation and test of causality change. Empirical analyses are provided to illustrate what alternative aspects are detected and how the methods introduced here can be conveniently applied. Most of the materials in Chapters 4 and 5 are based on the authors' latest research work. Subsidiary items are collected in the Appendix.
