Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists: With R and Python is designed as a textbook for a one- or two-term introduction to mathematical statistics for students training to become data scientists. It is an in-depth presentation of the topics in statistical science with which any data scientist should be familiar including probability distributions descriptive and inferential statistical methods and linear modeling. The book assumes knowledge of basic calculus so the presentation can focus on why it works as well as how to do it. Compared to traditional mathematical statistics textbooks however the book has less emphasis on probability theory and more emphasis on using software to implement statistical methods and to conduct simulations to illustrate key concepts. All statistical analyses in the book use R software with an appendix showing the same analyses with Python. Key Features: Shows the elements of statistical science that are important for students who plan to become data scientists. Includes Bayesian and regularized fitting of models (e. g. showing an example using the lasso) classification and clustering and implementing methods with modern software (R and Python). Contains nearly 500 exercises. The book also introduces modern topics that do not normally appear in mathematical statistics texts but are highly relevant for data scientists such as Bayesian inference generalized linear models for non-normal responses (e. g. logistic regression and Poisson loglinear models) and regularized model fitting. The nearly 500 exercises are grouped into Data Analysis and Applications and Methods and Concepts. Appendices introduce R and Python and contain solutions for odd-numbered exercises. The book's website (http://stat4ds. rwth-aachen. de/) has expanded R Python and Matlab appendices and all data sets from the examples and exercises. | Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Pattern Language for Game Design

Pattern Language for Game Design

Chris Barney’s Pattern Language for Game Design builds on the revolutionary work of architect Christopher Alexander to show students teachers and game development professionals how to derive best practices in all aspects of game design. Using a series of practical rigorous exercises designers can observe and analyze the failures and successes of the games they know and love to find the deep patterns that underlie good design. From an in-depth look at Alexander’s work to a critique of pattern theory in various fields to a new approach that will challenge your knowledge and put it to work this book seeks to transform how we look at building the interactive experiences that shape us. Key Features: Background on the architectural concepts of patterns and a Pattern Language as defined in the work of Christopher Alexander including his later work on the Fifteen Properties of Wholeness and Generative Codes. Analysis of other uses of Alexander’s work in computer science and game design and the limitations of those efforts. A comprehensive set of example exercises to help the reader develop their own patterns that can be used in practical day-to-day game design tasks. Exercises that are useful to designers at all levels of experience and can be completed in any order allowing students to select exercises that match their coursework and allowing professionals to select exercises that address their real-world challenges. Discussion of common pitfalls and difficulties with the pattern derivation process. A guide for game design teachers studio leaders and university departments for curating and maintaining institutional Pattern Languages. An Interactive Pattern Language website where you can share patterns with developers throughout the world (patternlanguageforgamedesign. com). Comprehensive games reference for all games discussed in this book. Author Chris Barney is an industry veteran with more than a decade of experience designing and engineering games such as Poptropica and teaching at Northeastern University. He has spoken at conferences including GDC DevCom and PAX on topics from core game design to social justice. Seeking degrees in game design before formal game design programs existed Barney built his own undergraduate and graduate curricula out of offerings in sociology computer science and independent study. In pursuit of a broad understanding of games he has worked on projects spanning interactive theater live-action role-playing game (LARP) design board games and tabletop role-playing games (RPGs). An extensive collection of his essays of game design topics can be found on his development blog at perspectivesingamedesign. com.

Sales Training Games For Sales Managers and Trainers

Sales Training Games For Sales Managers and Trainers

Selling is a skill that should not be limited to sales staff. Customer service or other support staff could all benefit from developing an awareness of and an ability to sell to customers. Also the opportunity for developing those skills should not be limited to sales training workshops. Here at last is a mix of over 80 games exercises and ideas that can be used to develop sales customer service and other staff. They range from simple ’skill boosters’ for coaching sessions or team meetings through icebreakers energizers and selling quizzes to full blown role plays and case studies. The principle at the heart of all the material is that games and exercises should be generic - transferable across different organizations and sales situations - and that they should use an 'open content' approach. This means that participants must supply their own examples and experiences to make the material immediately and completely relevant. This collection of games and exercises will enable sales managers or trainers to: ¢ develop their people with confidence secure in the knowledge that all of the material has been thoroughly road-tested on courses and seminars; ¢ ensure a flexible approach varying their pace or style in response to the subject matter and their audience; ¢ reinforce the learning using different formats of exercise to cover the same learning points; ¢ train (rather than talk) using the material to encourage people to start using what they already know. | Sales Training Games For Sales Managers and Trainers
