The EM Algorithm and Extensionsby Geoffrey J. McLachlan; Thriyambakam Krishnan
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007; US$ 130.00The only single-source——now completely updated and revised——to offer a unified treatment of the theory, methodology, and applications of the EM algorithm Complete with updates that capture developments from the past decade, The EM Algorithm and Extensions, Second Edition successfully provides a basic understanding of the EM algorithm by describing its inception, implementation, and applicability in numerous statistical contexts. In conjunction with the fundamentals of the topic, the authors discuss convergence issues and computation of standard errors, and, in addition, unveil many parallels and connections between the EM algorithm and Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. Thorough discussions on the complexities and... more...
Induction, Algorithmic Learning Theory, and Philosophyby Michele Friend; Norma B. Goethe; Valentina S. Harizanov
Springer 2007; US$ 189.00This is the first book to collect essays from philosophers, mathematicians and computer scientists working at the exciting interface of algorithmic learning theory and the epistemology of science and inductive inference. Readable, introductory essays provide engaging surveys of different, complementary, and mutually inspiring approaches to the topic, both from a philosophical and a mathematical viewpoint. Building upon this base, subsequent papers present novel extensions of algorithmic learning theory as well as bold, new applications to traditional issues in epistemology and the philosophy of science. The volume is vital reading for students and researchers seeking a fresh, truth-directed approach to the philosophy of science and induction,... more...
How to Think About Algorithmsby Jeff Edmonds
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 34.00Textbook that teaches students how to think about algorithms like an expert, without getting bogged down in formal proof. more...
Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programmingby Michael Affenzeller
CRC Press 2009; US$ 79.95Describes several generic algorithmic concepts that can be used in various kinds of GA or with evolutionary optimization techniques. This title provides a better understanding of the basic workflow of GAs and GP, encouraging readers to establish new bionic, problem-independent theoretical concepts. more...
