Whether based on academic theories or Machine Learning strategies, all financial models are at the mercy of modeling errors that can be mitigated but not eliminated. Probabilistic ML technologies are based on a simple and intuitive definition of probability and the rigorous calculus of probability theory. Unlike conventional AI systems, probabilistic Machine Learning (ML) systems treat errors and uncertainties as features, not bugs. They quantify uncertainty generated from inexact model inputs and outputs as probability distributions, not point estimates. Most importantly, these systems are capable of forewarning us when their inferences and predictions are no longer useful in the current market environment. These ML systems provide realistic support for financial decision-making and risk management in the face of uncertainty and incomplete information. Probabilistic ML is the next generation ML framework and technology for AI-powered financial and investing systems for many reasons.

The book describes the basic components of an optimization problem along with the formulation of design problems as mathematical programming problems using an objective function that expresses the main aim of the model, and how it is to be either minimized or maximized; subsequently, the concept of optimization and its relevance towards an optimal solution in engineering applications, is explained. This book aims to present some of the recent developments in the area of optimization theory, methods, and applications in engineering. It focuses on the metaphor of the inspired system and how to configure and apply the various algorithms. The book comprises 30 chapters and is organized into two parts: Part I ― Soft Computing and Evolutionary-Based Optimization; and Part II ― Decision Science and Simulation-Based Optimization, which contains application-based chapters.

Building great software requires outstanding teamwork across multiple disciplines. All teams and participants need to align behind clear goals that deliver real value (outcomes), not just lots of features (output). Sprint Goals are the most powerful tool Scrum/Agile teams have to pursue high-value outcomes, but many Scrum Teams avoid them, misuse them, or struggle to apply them. Succeeding with Sprint Goals covers everything you need to define, create, and execute on Sprint Goals that deliver outstanding value to customers and the business. Leading Scrum practitioner Maarten Dalmijn bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a fresh, unique, and cohesive perspective on the Scrum framework that will be valuable to every Product Owner, Product Manager, Scrum Master, Agile coach, and technology executive. You will learn why Sprint Goals are so important, how to use them throughout the Sprint and at Review and Retrospective, how to overcome common obstacles to success, and how to use them to build high-performing teams.

This book aims to increase the visibility of Data Science in real-world, which differs from what you learn from a typical textbook. Many aspects of day-to-day Data Science work are almost absent from conventional statistics, Machine Learning, and Data Science curriculum. Yet these activities account for a considerable share of the time and effort for data professionals in the industry. Based on industry experience, this book outlines real-world scenarios and discusses pitfalls that Data Science practitioners should avoid. It also covers the Big Data cloud platform and the art of Data Science, such as soft skills. The authors use R as the primary tool and provide code for both R and Python.

This addition to the Data Science Series introduces the principles of Data Science and the R language to the singular needs of water professionals. The book provides unique data and examples relevant to managing water utility and is sourced from the author’s extensive experience. Data Science for Water Utilities: Data as a Source of Value is an applied, practical guide that shows water professionals how to use Data Science to solve urban water management problems. Content develops through four case studies. The first looks at analysing water quality to ensure public health. The second considers customer feedback. The third case study introduces smart meter data. The guide flows easily from basic principles through code that, with each case study, increases in complexity. The last case study analyses data using basic machine learning. Readers will be familiar with analysing data but do not need coding experience to use this book. The title will be essential reading for anyone seeking a practical introduction to Data Science and creating value with R.

As a programming language, Java's object-oriented nature is key to creating powerful, reusable code and applications that are easy to maintain and extend. That being said, many people learn Java syntax without truly understanding its object-oriented roots, setting them up to fail to harness all of the power of Java. This book is your key to learning both! This new third edition of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code discusses Java syntax, object principles, and how to properly structure the requirements of an application around an object architecture. It is unique in that it uses a single case study of a Student Registration System throughout the book, carrying the reader from object concepts, to object modeling, to building actual code for a full-blown application. A new chapter covers a technology-neutral discussion of the principles of building a three-tier architecture using Java, introducing the notion of model layer – presentation layer – data layer separation.

Often, software engineers and architects work with large, complex code bases that they need to scale and maintain. With this cookbook, author Maximiliano Contieri takes you beyond the concept of clean code by showing you how to identify improvement opportunities and their impact on production code. When it comes to reliability and system evolution, these techniques provide benefits that pay off over time. Using real life examples in jаvascript, PHP, Java, Python, and many other programming languages, this cookbook provides proven recipes to help you scale and maintain large systems. Every section covers fundamental concepts including readability, coupling, testability, and extensibility, as well as code smells—symptoms of a problem that requires special attention—and the recipes to address them.

Why learn functional programming? Isn’t that some complicated ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell? In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It’s also very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the conventional programming tools and using only functional programming features. But it doesn’t have to be done that way. Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support. In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax, but the concepts are the same. Give functional programming a try. You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in your day-to-day programming.
