Review Applied Decision Support with Soft Computing (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing) / Springer:

Soft computing has provided sophisticated methodologies for the development of intelligent decision support systems. Fast advances in soft computing technologies, such as fuzzy logic and systems, artificial neural networks and evolutionary computation, have made available powerful problem representation and modelling paradigms, and learning and optimisation mechanisms for addressing modern decision making issues. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of up-to-date conceptual frameworks in broadly perceived decision support systems and successful applications. Different from other existing books, this volume predominately focuses on applied decision support with soft computing. Areas covered include planning, management finance and administration in both the private and public sectors.

Review The Oecd Input-Output Database: LA Base De Donnees Entrees-Sorties De L'Ocde / Organization for Economic:

Despite the importance of input-output statistics, internationally comparable input-output tables for OECD countries were lacking until now. This publication seeks to fill this gap and provides a new tool for economic analysis of growth, structural change, productivity, competitiveness, and employment at both the sectoral and macroeconomic levels. The data are provided in both current and constant prices and cover ten OECD countries: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and the United States for several time points from 1970-1990. This invaluable empirical tool for economic research and structural analysis is unique in several respects: 1) it uses a common industrial classification (ISIC, Rev. 2, 36 sectors) which allows the distinction of high-technology, trade-oriented industries such as pharmaceuticals, computers, communications equipment, automobiles, and aircraft. 2) the distinction of transaction flows of goods and services between those that are domesticaly produced and those that are imported. 3) the inclusion of consistent capital investment flow matrices. It also highlights inter-industrial relationships among sectors, covering not only manufacturing but also the services sector, and can be used in conjunction with other OECD databases including the STAN database, and the ANBERD database.

Review Advances in Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization, Volume 2 / Auerbach Publications:

Now that text-based search engines have begun to give way to content- and context-aware engines, advanced network infrastructures are starting to emerge. These infrastructures are capable of end-to-end ubiquitous transmission of multimedia content to any device, fixed or mobile, on any network, wired or wireless, at any time. This book is a collection of expanded papers presented at the 2007 2nd International Workshop on Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization. It explores recent and new developments in the field of semantic media adaptation and personalization. Topics discussed include the challenges of collaborative content modeling, video adaptation, information retrieval techniques for semantic media adaptation, and podcasting.

Review PHP with MySQL Essential Training / lynda.com, Inc:

Website and database assimilation is a necessity for many of today's businesses, and learning to work with PHP is key to integration success. The objective of PHP with MySQL Essential Training is to teach both new and experienced web developers the comprehensive steps for building dynamic, data-driven, interactive websites. Instructor Kevin Skoglund demonstrates the entire process of building a content management system. He starts with the basics of the PHP language (variables, arrays, loops, functions, etc. ) and works up to building dynamic web pages with a MySQL back end. Kevin also covers blueprinting applications; structuring and interacting with databases; building, validating, and processing forms; and regulating user access with passwords. In addition, he provides practical advice, offers examples of best practices, and demonstrates refactoring techniques for improving existing code. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.

Review Econometric Analysis of Count Data / Springer:

The book provides graduate students and researchers with an up-to-date survey of statistical and econometric techniques for the analysis of count data, with a focus on conditional distribution models. Proper count data probability models allow for rich inferences, both with respect to the stochastic count process that generated the data, and with respect to predicting the distribution of outcomes. The book starts with a presentation of the benchmark Poisson regression model. Alternative models address unobserved heterogeneity, state dependence, selectivity, endogeneity, underreporting, and clustered sampling. Testing and estimation is discussed from frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. Finally, applications are reviewed in fields such as economics, marketing, sociology, demography, and health sciences. The fourth edition contains several new sections, for example on nonnested hurdle models, quantile regression and on software. Many other sections have been entirely rewritten and extended.
