This book covers the main models within the GLM (i.e., logistic, Poisson, negative binomial, ordinal, and multinomial). For each model, estimations, interpretations, model fit, diagnostics, and how to convey results graphically are provided. There is a focus on graphic displays of results as these are a core strength of using R for statistical analysis. Many in the social sciences are transitioning away from using Stata, SPSS and SAS, to using R, and this book uses statistical models which are relevant to the social sciences. Social Science Applications of Regression for Categorical Outcomes Using R will be useful for graduate students in the social sciences who are looking to expand their statistical knowledge, and for Quantitative social scientists due to it’s ability to act as a practitioners guide. R is a free, comprehensive, and inclusive computing environment. On the one hand, this means that it is flexible, more efficient than many alternatives, and does things that stand-alone statistics packages do not do (e.g., natural language processing or web scraping).

Machine Learning (ML) is progressively reshaping the fields of quantitative finance and algorithmic trading. ML tools are increasingly adopted by hedge funds and asset managers, notably for alpha signal generation and stocks selection. The technicality of the subject can make it hard for non-specialists to join the bandwagon, as the jargon and coding requirements may seem out-of-reach. Machine Learning for factor investing: Python version bridges this gap. It provides a comprehensive tour of modern ML-based investment strategies that rely on firm characteristics. One of the purposes of the book is to propose a large-scale tutorial of ML applications in financial predictions and portfolio selection. Thus, one keyword is reproducibility! In order to duplicate our results (up to possible randomness in some learning algorithms), you will need running versions of Python and Anaconda on your computer.

Fun C++ related programming puzzles! 128 Fun Puzzles of Increasing Difficulty Where You Must Ask: Was that a copy, or was it a reference, and who last changed that value? If you are a C++ programmer, then you will learn some new things by doing these puzzles. If you are not a C++ programmer, then you'll just have FUN! A book of puzzles that should be fun for anyone, but actually educational for people interested in C++. The solution to every puzzle is a C++ related term or phrase. If you don't know what the solution means, you can search and learn something new. The challenge and fun is in keeping track of what order objects' lifetimes begin, and knowing what order they must end in. Each section has a description of the new concept introduced, and the challenges are increased at a leisurely pace. Each of these examples are real C++ code. If you are a C++ user, you can learn more about object lifetime with these puzzles. These puzzles come directly from classes that I teach with C++ programmers.

This self-study course written as a book is your first step towards making money by coding and programming from home, and doing that with fun. You will understand how the Ruby language works, and establish a foundation for being successful freelance developer. From the author’s personal point of view, Ruby is a good tool for doing something of my own - some project of mine, a program which can be shared with others, attract attention or earn money. In other words, Ruby is an efficient and interesting language, not only for work but for its own sake too. As stated earlier, there are many trends in software development. Each trend is unique and requires its own know-how. The author believes that there are currently at least two “tried and tested” trends in programming which give the maximum result in the minimum time. “Results” here means both cash compensation and knowing how to do something with your own hands. The first is mobile development – programs for mobile phones (Android, iPhone), tablets (iPad) and other devices. The second is web programming (or web development).

A basic understanding of the key techniques in computer graphics can open the door to this exciting field and its many applications, including for video games and for augmented and virtual reality. This easy-to-follow textbook and reference introduces the fundamental concepts of computer graphics, integrating both technical background and theory with practical examples and applications throughout. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition continues to present a user-friendly approach to creating images and animations, complementing the expanded coverage of topics with usage of example programs and exercises. Until the third edition, this book contained examples of the Java 2D and Java 3D graphics systems. Although it is still possible to learn many principles of computer graphics using Java 2D and Java 3D, it seems timely, given the above background, to also introduce the basics of shader programming. Since Java 2D and Java 3D do not allow this, this edition contains only examples for the graphics programming interface Open Graphics Library (OpenGL).

Master functions and discover how to write functional programs in R. In this book, updated for R 4, you'll learn to make your functions pure by avoiding side effects, write functions that manipulate other functions, and construct complex functions using simpler functions as building blocks. In Functional Programming in R 4, you’ll see how to replace loops, which can have side-effects, with recursive functions that can more easily avoid them. In addition, the book covers why you shouldn't use recursion when loops are more efficient and how you can get the best of both worlds. Functional programming is a style of programming, like object-oriented programming, but one that focuses on data transformations and calculations rather than objects and state. Where in object-oriented programming you model your programs by describing which states an object can be in and how methods will reveal or modify that state, in functional programming you model programs by describing how functions translate input data to output data.

As an aspiring data scientist, you appreciate why organizations rely on data for important decisions--whether it's for companies designing websites, cities deciding how to improve services, or scientists discovering how to stop the spread of disease. And you want the skills required to distill a messy pile of data into actionable insights. We call this the Data Science lifecycle: the process of collecting, wrangling, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Learning Data Science is the first book to cover foundational skills in both programming and statistics that encompass this entire lifecycle. It's aimed at those who wish to become data scientists or who already work with data scientists, and at data analysts who wish to cross the "technical/nontechnical" divide. If you have a basic knowledge of Python programming, you'll learn how to work with data using industry-standard tools like Pandas. We expect readers to be proficient in Python and understand how to: use built-in data structures like lists, dictionaries, and sets; import and use functions and classes from other packages; and write functions from scratch.
