This hands-on guide takes you through Python a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. Updated to Python 3.
illuminates Bayesian inference through probabilistic programming with the powerful PyMC language and the closely related Python tools NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. Using this approach, you can reach effective solutions in small increments.
Practical programming for total beginners. In Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, you'll learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand-no prior programming experience required.
This book gives a very quick but still thorough introduction to reinforcement learning, and includes algorithms for quite a few methods. This is everything a graduate student could ask for in a text.
This book offers a highly accessible introduction to natural language processing, the field that supports a variety of language technologies, from predictive text and email filtering to automatic summarization and translation.
Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models is a comprehensive manual for the applied researcher who wants to perform data analysis using linear and nonlinear regression and multilevel models.
The book integrates methodology and algorithms with statistical inference, and ends with speculation on the future direction of statistics and data science.
Comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to the theory and practice of artificial intelligence. Number one in its field, this textbook is ideal for one or two-semester, undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Artificial Intelligence.
Think Bayes is an introduction to Bayesian statistics using computational methods. The premise of this book, and the other books in the Think X series, is that if you know how to program, you can use that skill to learn other topics.
This is a free sample of Learn Python 2 The Hard Way with 8 exercises and Appendix A available for you to review.
