This book introduces readers to spatiotemporal analytics that are extended from spatial statistics. Spatiotemporal analytics help analysts to quantitatively recognize and evaluate the spatial patterns and their temporal trends of a set of geographic events or objects. Spatiotemporal analyses are very important in geography, environmental sciences, economy, and many other domains. Spatiotemporal Analytics explains in very simple terms the concepts of spatiotemporal data and statistics, theories, and methods used. Each chapter introduces a case study as an example application for an in-depth learning process. The software used and the codes provided enable readers not only to learn statistics but also to use them effectively in their projects.

Do brains compute? If they do, what do they compute and how do they do it? The first part of the book introduces the development of a model that simulates actual biological neurons more closely than do current standard models of neural networks, as well as the deduction of its physics-like and computational properties from first principles. The second part presents a collection of applications of the model to memory formation and loss, a general syntax for memory retrieval, language itself, and certain forms of aphasia. A linear development of the discussion with proofs in situ is employed by the author, making the book essentially self-contained. A pair of helpful appendices are provided to acquaint the reader with necessary fundamentals of topics in logic and mathematics. Quantum-like Networks: An Approach to Neural Behavior through their Mathematics and Logic will show you an entirely new approach to an ancient subject. Readership: Researchers and graduate students in Neuroscience, Biomathematics, Biophysics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and related fields.

Transformation of the Earth's social and ecological systems is occurring at a rate and magnitude unparalleled in human experience. Data Science is a revolutionary new way to understand human-environment relationships at the heart of pressing challenges like climate change and sustainable development. However, data science faces serious shortcomings when it comes to human-environment research. There are challenges with social and environmental data, the methods that manipulate and analyze the information, and the theory underlying the data science itself; as well as significant legal, ethical and policy concerns. This timely book offers a comprehensive, balanced, and accessible account of the promise and problems of this work in terms of data, methods, theory, and policy. It demonstrates the need for data scientists to work with human-environment scholars to tackle pressing real-world problems, making it ideal for researchers and graduate students in Earth and environmental science, data science and the environmental social sciences. Data Science and cognate fields like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence hold great promise for studying human-environment systems.

The book focuses on the study of the temporal behavior of complex many-particle systems. The phenomenon of time and its role in the temporal evolution of complex systems is a remaining mystery. The book presents the necessity of the interdisciplinary point of view regarding on the phenomenon of time. The aim of the present study is to summarize and formulate in a concise but clear form the trends and approaches to the concept of time from a broad interdisciplinary perspective exposing tersely the complementary approaches and theories of time in the context of thermodynamics, statistical physics, cosmology, theory of information, biology and biophysics, including the problem of time and aging. Various approaches to the problem show that time is an extraordinarily interdisciplinary and multifaceted underlying notion which plays an extremely important role in various natural complex processes.

Most introduction to proofs textbooks focus on the structure of rigorous mathematical language and only use mathematical topics incidentally as illustrations and exercises. In contrast, this book gives students practice in proof writing while simultaneously providing a rigorous introduction to number systems and their properties. Understanding the properties of these systems is necessary throughout higher mathematics. The book is an ideal introduction to mathematical reasoning and proof techniques, building on familiar content to ensure comprehension of more advanced topics in abstract algebra and real analysis with over 700 exercises as well as many examples throughout. Readers will learn and practice writing proofs related to new abstract concepts while learning new mathematical content. The first task is analogous to practicing soccer while the second is akin to playing soccer in a real match. The authors believe that all students should practice and play mathematics. The book is written for students who already have some familiarity with formal proof writing but would like to have some extra preparation before taking higher mathematics courses like abstract algebra and real analysis.

This open access book focuses on processing, modeling, and visualization of anisotropy information, which are often addressed by employing sophisticated mathematical constructs such as tensors and other higher-order descriptors. It also discusses adaptations of such constructs to problems encountered in seemingly dissimilar areas of medical imaging, physical sciences, and engineering. Featuring original research contributions as well as insightful reviews for scientists interested in handling anisotropy information, it covers topics such as pertinent geometric and algebraic properties of tensors and tensor fields, challenges faced in processing and visualizing different types of data, statistical techniques for data processing, and specific applications like mapping white-matter fiber tracts in the brain.

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that investigates the probabilities associated with a random phenomenon. A random phenomenon can have several outcomes. Probability theory describes the chance of occurrence of a particular outcome by using certain formal concepts.

In real-life situations, we come across problems that comprise imprecise or uncertain, simple or complex information that needs to be analyzed for various requirements. To tackle this situation, Zadeh in 1965 formulated the concept of a fuzzy set, which in an imprecise environment that captured the inexactness present in a system. Later, Zadeh elucidated the concept of linguistic variables to handle situations that involved less preciseness in humanistic systems. This was further studied by several researchers using appropriate quantification of fuzziness on kinds of fuzzy numbers. To process and analyze the features connected with entities in such a scenario, fuzzy information systems were studied in the literature.

This book is an analytical palimpsest which attempts to recast into spreadsheets and reimagine the Bayesian Stan-based analytics presented by Richard? for the data analytics that help business managers and executives make decisions. Richard McElreath’s vision and examples, though reworked, are nearly immediately evident throughout. But again this work is a palimpsest with its own quirks, examples, but surely built on McElreath’s analytical architecture. The concepts, even the zeitgeist of a Danielle Navarro1 might be evident along with examples from her work on learning and reasoning in the behavioral sciences. And if there was ever a pool of behavior to dip into it is in the business domain.

With the aim to better understand nature, mathematical tools are being used nowadays in many different fields. The concept of integral transforms, in particular, has been found to be a useful mathematical tool for solving a variety of problems not only in mathematics, but also in various other branches of science, engineering, and technology. Integral Transforms and Engineering: Theory, Methods, and Applications presents a mathematical analysis of integral transforms and their applications. The book illustrates the possibility of obtaining transfer functions using different integral transforms, especially when mapping any function into the frequency domain. Various differential operators, models, and applications are included such as classical derivative, Caputo derivative, Caputo-Fabrizio derivative, and Atangana-Baleanu derivative. This book is a useful reference for practitioners, engineers, researchers, and graduate students in mathematics, applied sciences, engineering, and technology fields.
