How the Stock Market Works

Making money demands effort, whether working for a salary or investing. You get nothing for nothing. Anyone who tells you the stock market is an absolute doddle, and money for old rope, is either a conman or a fool. And the proof of that became very clear with the stock market depressions starting in 2007. But doing a bit of work does not necessarily mean heavy mathematics and several hours eve…

Managing the Macroeconomy

Having originated in the advanced economies, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008–09 spread rapidly to the rest of the world. The impact on the emerging markets, especially those in Asia, though not as severe as that in the advanced countries, was still quite signifi- cant. India withstood the crisis initially but could not remain entirely unaffected for long (especially after the collap…

Intrusion Detection Networks

In November 2008, a new type of computer worm started to spread quickly. It used three different types of attack on Windows⃝R hosts: exploiting vulnerabilities, guessing passwords, and infecting removable devices [20]. In three months it took over about 9 million Microsoft⃝R Windows systems around the world and formed a massive bot net [5]. The estimated economic loss brought by this worm w…

FUZZY LOGIC ALGORITHMS, TECHNIQUES AND IMPLEMENTATIONS

Algorithm is used to define the notion of decidability. It is a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations. This is essential for computers to process information. Computer programs contain algorithms that detail specific instructions a computer should perform to carry out a specified task. The traditional computer program performs specific instructions sequentially, and use…

Modern Statistics

There are two general goals in this book. Assuming the reader has had no prior training in statistics, the first is to provide a graduate-level introduction to basic, routinely used statistical techniques relevant to the social and behavioral sciences. As can be seen from the Table of Contents, a wide range of topics is covered. Included is a nontechnical description of three major insights reg…

Blind Equalization and System Identification

Discrete-time signal processing has appeared to be one of the major momenta to the advances of science and engineering over the past several decades be- cause of the rapid progress of digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits in processing speed, functionality, and cost effectiveness. In many science and engineering applications, the signals of interest are distorted by an unknown physical s…

Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB

We wrote a second edition of this book for two reasons. First, the Statistics Toolbox for MATLAB® has been significantly expanded since the first edition, so the text needed to be updated to reflect these changes. Second, we wanted to incorporate some of the suggested improvements that were made by several of the reviewers of the first edition. In our view, one of the most important issues t…

ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN

One glorious afternoon in March, 2006, as a friend and I hurried past Austin’s Downtown Hilton Hotel to catch the next session of the SXSW Interactive Festival, a young stranger arrested our progress. With no introduction or preliminaries, he announced that he was available to speak at An Event Apart, a conference for web designers that Eric Meyer and I had launched three months previously…

CYBER INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

The Internet, as well as other telecommunication networks and information systems, have become an integrated part of our daily lives, and our dependency upon their underlying infrastructure is ever-increas- ing. Unfortunately, as our dependency has grown, so have hostile attacks on the cyber infrastructure by network predators. The lack of security as a core el- ement in the initial design of…

Constructing Quality

How can we engage in a market relationship when the quality of the goods we want to acquire is unknown, invisible, or uncertain? This is the question addressed in this book. Each chapter focuses on situations where quality is highly uncertain: such situations provide excellent opportunities to analyze how quality is the outcome of a construction process involving producers, consumers, and marke…

Learning Responsive Web Design

By now pretty much everybody in the web world has heard of responsive web design (often referred to as RWD), but a surprising number don’t have a good understanding of what it is . In this chapter, you’ll learn the basics of what it means for a website to be responsive . After that, we’ll go through a little of the history of web design, so you can understand where the idea of responsi…

Data Quality and its Impacts on Decision-Making

For all types of businesses, there is an increasing trend towards the utilization of data, as well as information that can be gathered from data. Big Data or Data Scientist are the new terms that emerged from recent developments in the field of data and information science, just to mention a couple examples. The assurance of data quality has become an integral part of information management pr…

Projected Art History

My wish to make this book available to an English-speaking audience finally came true. Had it not been for a chance encounter with Francisco J. Ricardo through an introduction by Candy Coleman at a museum opening in Los Angeles in 2011, this book would probably not exist. Francisco’s enthusiasm and support, along with his wonderful contacts Katie Gallof at Bloomsbury and Jörgen Schäfer,…

Nation within a Nation

No other region has been more important than the South in determining the course of U.S. politics and history. This was so in 1776, and 1865, and is still true today, although in vastly different ways. The South’s relationship to the federal government has been intriguing and unique, and it vitally informs the region’s continued import to American politics, society, and culture. No other s…
