Das Buch richtet sich an Leser mit grundlegenden Python-Kenntnissen, die ihre Fähigkeiten vertiefen möchten. Anhand konkreter Anwendungsbeispiele aus verschiedenen Fachgebieten wird demonstriert, wie Python effektiv zur Problemlösung eingesetzt werden kann. Es werden sowohl allgemeine Programmierkonzepte wie Algorithmen, Rekursion und Datenstrukturen behandelt als auch spezifische Merkmale von Python, um ein problemorientiertes Denken zu fördern.
Der Autor untersucht die Auswirkungen intelligenter Computer auf die Gesellschaft im Jahr 2040. Er beleuchtet, wie Maschinen menschliches Verhalten nachahmen und analysiert verschiedene Bereiche wie Bildung, Arbeit und Privatsphäre, um Prognosen über die zukünftige Entwicklung zu erstellen.
Die von 1973 bis 2008 auf dem Gelände des nach 1529 wüstgefallenen Klosters Ihlow durchgeführten Ausgrabungen waren die ersten, die in Ostfriesland als Suche nach Antworten auf konkrete Fragen von Historikern unternommen wurden. Ihlow liegt auf einer Geestinsel bei Ludwigsdorf ca. 8 km südsüdwestlich von Aurich. Der Sammelband befaßt sich mit der archäologischen Topographie Ihlows [Schwarz], der früh- und hochmittelalterlichen Siedlung am Dachsberg [Schwarz], eichenen Krummhölzern vom Dachsberg, die als Unterzüge eines Fußbodens zweitverwendete Teile von Schiffsspanten waren [Ellmers] und archäologischen Ausgrabungen von 1973-2006, bei denen die nach 1270 gebaute Backsteinkirche, Klausur, Gräber, Wasserbauten und Baumaterialien dokumentiert und ausgewertet wurden [Brüggler]. Weitere Themen sind pollenanalytische Untersuchungen im Klosterbereich [Bittmann], dreizehn Skelette aus der Klosterkirche und ihre anthropologische Auswertung [Burkhardt], Ausgrabungen in der Klausur von 2006-2008 [Thiemann] sowie Geschichte und Bedeutung des Klosters Ihlow-Meerhusen [van Lengen]. Excavations conducted from 1973 to 2008 on the terrain of the former monastery of Ihlow, deserted after 1529, were the first ones in Eastern Frisia to be carried out in the quest for answers to concrete questions raised by historians. Ihlow is situated on a geest island near Ludwigsdorf some 8 km south-south-west of Aurich. This volume deals with the archaeological topography of Ihlow [Schwarz], the Early and High Medieval settlement on Dachsberg [“Badger’s Hill”, Schwarz], with bent oak timbers found on the Dachsberg that were identified as ship frames re-used as supports of a floor [Ellmers], and with archaeological excavations of 1973-2006 during which the brick church built after A. D. 1270, the cloister, some graves, the hydraulic installations, and the building material were documented and analysed [Brüggler]. Additional themes are palynological research in the area of the monastery [Bittmann], thirteen skeletons from the minster and their anthropological analysis [Burkhardt], excavations in the cloister carried out in 2006-2008 [Thiemann] as well as the history and the significance of the monastery of Ihlow-Meerhusen [van Lengen].
An Integrated Approach with Python and Stata
Bootstrapping is a conceptually simple statistical technique to increase the quality of estimates, conduct robustness checks and compute standard errors for virtually any statistic. This book provides an intelligible and compact introduction for students, scientists and practitioners. It not only gives a clear explanation of the underlying concepts but also demonstrates the application of bootstrapping using Python and Stata.
Learn to use Python productively in real-life scenarios at work and in everyday life
If you have mastered the basics of Python and are wanting to explore the language in more depth, this book is for you. By means of concrete examples used in different applications, the book illustrates many aspects of programming (e.g. algorithms, recursion, data structures) and helps problem-solving strategies. Including general ideas and solutions, the specifics of Python and how these can be practically applied are discussed. Python 3 for Science and Engineering Applications Topics
A Really Short Introduction
Stata is a widely used statistical software suitable for users ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals. This book provides a clear introduction to Stata's usage and workflow, covering key topics such as importing and managing datasets, data cleaning and preparation, variable creation and manipulation, and generating descriptive statistics and graphs. It also delves into essential quantitative methods, including linear (OLS) and binary logistic regressions, along with matching techniques. To ensure the validity of results, it includes information on diagnostic tests that meet academic standards. Users will learn how to export results for use in popular software like Microsoft Word, aiding in seminar papers and publications. Additionally, the book offers a concise introduction to scientific writing, guiding readers through creating their first quantitative seminar paper or research report. Emphasizing correct software usage and a productive workflow, it addresses replicability and academic writing standards. Beginners will appreciate the user-friendly point-and-click interface, while experienced users can explore do-files and syntax that enhance Stata's functionality. The book also introduces a variety of user-contributed software ("Ados") that improves workflow and ensures access to advanced statistical methods.
