Frequentist and Bayesian Statistics Crash Course for Beginners Data and statistics are the core subjects of Machine Learning (ML). The reality is the average programmer may be tempted to view statistics with disinterest. But if you want to exploit the incredible power of Machine Learning, you need a thorough understanding of statistics. The reason is a Machine Learning professional develops intelligent and fast algorithms that learn from data. Frequentist and Bayesian Statistics Crash Course for Beginners presents you with an easy way of learning statistics fast. Contrary to popular belief, statistics is no longer the exclusive domain of math Ph.D.s. It's true that statistics deals with numbers and percentages. Hence, the subject can be very dry and boring. This book, however, transforms statistics into a fun subject. Frequentist and Bayesian statistics are two statistical techniques that interpret the concept of probability in different ways. Bayesian statistics was first introduced by Thomas Bayes in the 1770s. Bayesian statistics has been instrumental in the design of high-end algorithms that make accurate predictions. So even after 250 years, the interest in Bayesian statistics has not faded. In fact, it has accelerated tremendously. Frequentist Statistics is just as important as Bayesian Statistics. In the statistical universe, Frequentist Statistics is the most popular inferential technique. In fact, it's the first school of thought you come across when you enter the statistics world. How Is This Book Different? AI Publishing is completely sold on the learning by doing methodology. We have gone to great lengths to ensure you find learning statistics easy. The result: you will not get stuck along your learning journey. This is not a book full of complex mathematical concepts and difficult equations. You will find that the coverage of the theoretical aspects of statistics is proportionate to the practical aspects of the subject. The book makes the reading process easier by presenting you with three types of box-tags in different colors. They are: Requirements, Further Readings, and Hands-on Time. The final chapter presents two mini-projects to give you a better understanding of the concepts you studied in the previous eight chapters. The main feature is you get instant access to a treasure trove of all the related learning material when you buy this book. They include PDFs, Python codes, exercises, and references--on the publisher's website. You get access to all this learning material at no extra cost. You can also download the Machine Learning datasets used in this book at runtime. Alternatively, you can access them through the Resources/Datasets folder. The quick course on Python programming in the first chapter will be immensely helpful, especially if you are new to Python. Since you can access all the Python codes and datasets, a computer with the internet is sufficient to get started. The topics covered include: A Quick Introduction to Python for Statistics Starting with Probability Random Variables and Probability Distributions Descriptive Statistics: Measure of Central Tendency and Spread Exploratory Analysis: Data Visualization Statistical Inference Frequentist Inference Bayesian Inference Hands-on Projects Click the BUY NOW button and start your Statistics Learning journey.

The next twenty years will be completely unlike the last twenty years. The world is in economic crisis, and there are no easy fixes to our predicament. Unsustainable trends in the economy, energy, and the environment have finally caught up with us and are converging on a very narrow window of time—the "Twenty-Teens." The Crash Course presents our predicament and illuminates the path ahead, so you can face the coming disruptions and thrive--without fearing the future or retreating into denial. In this book you will find solid facts and grounded reasoning presented in a calm, positive, non-partisan manner. Our money system places impossible demands upon a finite world. Exponentially rising levels of debt, based on assumptions of future economic growth to fund repayment, will shudder to a halt and then reverse. Unfortunately, our financial system does not operate in reverse. The consequences of massive deleveraging will be severe. Oil is essential for economic growth. The reality of dwindling oil supplies is now internationally recognized, yet virtually no developed nations have a Plan B. The economic risks to individuals, companies, and countries are varied and enormous. Best-case, living standards will drop steadily worldwide. Worst-case, systemic financial crises will toss the world into jarring chaos. This book is written for those who are motivated to learn about the root causes of our predicaments, protect themselves and their families, mitigate risks as much as possible, and control what effects they can. With challenge comes opportunity, and The Crash Course offers a positive vision for how to reshape our lives to be more balanced, resilient, and sustainable.

Natural Language Processing Crash Course for Beginners Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't the latest fad! The reason is AI has been around since 1956, and its relevance is evident in every field today. Artificial Intelligence incorporates human intelligence into machines. Machine Learning (ML), a branch of AI, enables machines to learn by themselves. Deep Learning (DL), a subfield of Machine Learning, uses algorithms that are inspired by the functioning of the human brain. Natural Language Processing (NLP) combines computational linguistics and Artificial Intelligence, enabling computers and humans to communicate seamlessly. And NLP is immensely powerful and impactful as every business is looking to integrate it into their day to day dealings. How Is This Book Different? This book by AI Publishing is carefully crafted, giving equal importance to the theoretical concepts as well as the practical aspects of natural language processing. In each chapter of the second half of the book, the theoretical concepts of different types of deep learning and NLP techniques have been covered in-depth, followed by practical examples. You will learn how to apply different NLP techniques using the TensorFlow and Keras libraries for Python. Each chapter contains exercises that are designed to evaluate your understanding of the concepts covered in that chapter. Also, in the Resources section of each chapter, you can access the Python notebook. The author has also compiled a list of hands-on NLP projects and competitions that you can try on your own. The main benefit of purchasing this book is you get immediate access to all the extra learning material presented with this book--Python codes, exercises, PDFs, and references--on the publisher's website without having to spend an extra cent. You can download the datasets used in this book at runtime, or you can access them in the Resources/Datasets folder. The author holds your hand through everything. He provides you a step by step explanation of the installation of the software needed to implement the various NLP techniques in this book. You can start experimenting with the practical aspects of NLP right from the beginning. Even if you are new to Python, you'll find the ultra-short course on Python programming language in the second chapter immensely helpful. You get all the codes and datasets with this book. So, if you have access to a computer with the internet, you can get started. The topics covered include: What is Natural Language Processing? Environment Setup and Python Crash Course Introduction to Deep Learning Text Cleaning and Manipulation Common NLP Tasks Importing Text Data from Various Sources Word Embeddings: Converting Words to Numbers IMDB Movies Sentimental Analysis Ham and Spam Message Classification Text Summarization and Topic Modeling Text Classification with Deep Learning Text Translation Using Seq2Seq Model State of the Art NLP with BERT Transformers Hands-on NLP Projects/Articles for Practice Exercise Solutions Click the BUY button and download the book now to start your Natural Language Processing journey.
