This book considers statistical learning applications when interest centers on the conditional distribution of the response variable, given a set of predictors, and when it is important to characterize how the predictors are related to the response.

In this regard, it analyzes mathematical models of diagnostic signals that arise during the operation of power equipment; presents diagnostics methods for selected types of electric power and heat engineering equipment; and covers a range of diagnostic and monitoring systems and devices for power equipment.

This book describes the design, mathematical modeling, control system development and experimental validation of a versatile mobile pipe inspection robot. Pipeline inspection is a common field of application for mobile robots because the monitoring of inaccessible, long and narrow pipelines is a very difficult task for humans.

This thesis presents the application of non-perturbative, or functional, renormalization group to study the physics of critical stationary states in systems out-of-equilibrium. The first system is the diffusive epidemic process, a stochastic process which models the propagation of an epidemic within a population.

This book revisits these methods and then illustrates how they may be used to analyze spatial data and study spatial population dynamics.Topics covered include spatial population dynamics, population projections and estimations, spatial and age structure of migration flows and much more.

This book uncovers properties of focus association with 'only' by examining the interaction between the particle and bare (or "evaluative") gradable terms. The book thus provides new data and a new theoretical view of the semantic properties of 'only', and connects it to the semantics of gradable expressions.

This book addresses an emblematic case of a potential faith-reason, or faith-science, conflict that never arose, even though the biblical passage in question runs counter to simple common sense.

This peer-reviewed book explores the methodologies that are used for effective research, design and innovation in the vast field of millimeter-wave circuits, and describes how these have to be modified to fit the uniqueness of high-frequency nanoelectronics design.

This monograph highlights the connection between the theoretical work done by research statisticians and the impact that work has on various industries.

This book offers professionals working at power plants guidelines and best practices for vibration problems, in order to help them identify the respective problem, grasp it, and successfully solve it.

This thesis represents one of the most comprehensive and in-depth studies of the use of Lorentz-boosted hadronic final state systems in the search for signals of Supersymmetry conducted to date at the Large Hadron Collider.

This book explores the use of a socio-inspired optimization algorithm (the Cohort Intelligence algorithm), along with Cognitive Computing and a Multi-Random Start Local Search optimization algorithm.

This book presents an original discussion and analysis of epistemic peer disagreement. The book offers a number of arguments supporting the variability in the nature and in the range of disagreements, and outlines the main benefits of disagreement among peers i.e.

This book is a step-by-step guide for instructors on how to teach a psychology research methods course at the undergraduate or graduate level.

This book provides senior managers, project- and program managers, team coaches and team leaders with thought and management tools for potentiating self-organization and creating collaborative intelligence in teams.

This textbook covers security controls and management. The author makes an explicit balance between knowledge and skills material in information security, giving readers immediate applicable skills.

This textbook introduces linear algebra and optimization in the context of machine learning. The tight integration of linear algebra methods with examples from machine learning differentiates this book from generic volumes on linear algebra.

This book argues that the key problems of software systems development (SSD) are socio-technical rather than purely technical in nature.
