The R Student Companion

The R Student Companion

R is the amazing free open-access software package for scientific graphs and calculations used by scientists worldwide. The R Student Companion is a student-oriented manual describing how to use R in high school and college science and mathematics courses. Written for beginners in scientific computation the book assumes the reader has just some high school algebra and has no computer programming background. The author presents applications drawn from all sciences and social sciences and includes the most often used features of R in an appendix. In addition each chapter provides a set of computational challenges: exercises in R calculations that are designed to be performed alone or in groups. Several of the chapters explore algebra concepts that are highly useful in scientific applications such as quadratic equations systems of linear equations trigonometric functions and exponential functions. Each chapter provides an instructional review of the algebra concept followed by a hands-on guide to performing calculations and graphing in R. R is intuitive even fun. Fantastic publication-quality graphs of data equations or both can be produced with little effort. By integrating mathematical computation and scientific illustration early in a student‘s development R use can enhance one's understanding of even the most difficult scientific concepts. While R has gained a strong reputation as a package for statistical analysis The R Student Companion approaches R more completely as a comprehensive tool for scientific computing and graphing.

The Literary Role of History in the Fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien

The Literary Role of History in the Fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien

This volume analyzes the literary role played by history in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. It argues that the events of The Lord of the Rings are placed against the background of an already- existing history both in reality and in the fictional worlds of the books. History is unfolded in various ways both in explicitly archival annals and in stories told by characters on the road or on the fly and in which different visions of history emerge. In addition the history within the work can resemble or be patterned on histories in our world. These histories range from the deep past of prehistoric and ancient worlds to the early medieval era of the barbarian invasions and Byzantium to the modern worlds of urbane civility and a paradoxical longing for nature and finally to great power rivalries and global prospects. The book argues that Tolkien did not employ these histories indiscriminately or reductively. Rather he regarded them as aspects of aesthetic and representative figuration that are above all literary. While most criticism has concentrated on Tolkien’s use of historical traditions of Northern Europe this book argues that Tolkien also valued Southern and Mediterranean pasts and registered the Germanic and the Scandinavian pasts as they related to other histories as much as his vision of them included a primeval mythic aura. | The Literary Role of History in the Fiction of J.

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS

Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS

Third-variable effect refers to the effect transmitted by third-variables that intervene in the relationship between an exposure and a response variable. Differentiating between the indirect effect of individual factors from multiple third-variables is a constant problem for modern researchers. Statistical Methods for Mediation Confounding and Moderation Analysis Using R and SAS introduces general definitions of third-variable effects that are adaptable to all different types of response (categorical or continuous) exposure or third-variables. Using this method multiple third- variables of different types can be considered simultaneously and the indirect effect carried by individual third-variables can be separated from the total effect. Readers of all disciplines familiar with introductory statistics will find this a valuable resource for analysis. Key Features: Parametric and nonparametric method in third variable analysis Multivariate and Multiple third-variable effect analysis Multilevel mediation/confounding analysis Third-variable effect analysis with high-dimensional data Moderation/Interaction effect analysis within the third-variable analysis R packages and SAS macros to implement methods proposed in the book

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

The author was perhaps psychoanalysis's most gifted and eloquent spokesperson. In this volume the author is presented in one of the roles he enjoyed most: communicating to a lay audience his understanding of people and life and his insights into the science and art of psychoanalysis. These important talks profoundly influenced countless professional workers and lay people. The twenty-four public lectures in this remarkable collection are each a gem of wisdom and humor. With deep psychoanalytic wisdom the author addresses such timeless and universal human concerns as love and emotional development; hate aggression and war; masculinity femininity and sexuality; jealousy envy and possessiveness; and the vicissitudes of child rearing and family development. Reading these entertaining public talks of the author now is like reading a chronicle of the great psychosocial issues of the past half-century. One is impressed with not only the wisdom they offer for our current concerns but also with how revolutionary original and prophetic was his thinking. | On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R.

Peasants Capitalism and the Work of Eric R. Wolf Reviving Critical Agrarian Studies

Peasants Capitalism and the Work of Eric R. Wolf Reviving Critical Agrarian Studies

Fifty years after the publication of Eric Wolf’s celebrated Peasant Wars of the Twentieth Century and forty years after the publication of his path-breaking Europe and the People Without History this book offers a much-needed critical assessment and update of Wolf’s contribution to the study of the peasantry and its relationship to capitalism the state and imperialism. This book provides a comprehensive evaluation of Wolf’s premises methodology and understanding of the peasantry and its relationship to the rise of capitalism and the modern state. The authors analyse Wolf’s theoretical approach and by building on his work in Europe and the People Without History especially argue their own position concerning the dynamics of the peasantry in relation to capitalism state class and imperialism. Further the text aims to answer the agrarian question more widely focusing on agrarian society and the political role of the peasantry in contested transitions to capitalism and to modes beyond capitalism. This requires the authors argue an analysis of class struggle and of the resources material and discursive that different classes can bring to bear on this struggle. Based on well-founded theoretical premises the book focuses on the contested rise of capitalism in the global North the development of core–periphery relations in the global political economy and the place of the peasantry in these dynamics. The book presents case studies of transitions to agrarian capitalism in the British Isles France Germany Japan and the USA. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers in the areas of peasant studies rural politics agrarian studies development and political ecology. | Peasants Capitalism and the Work of Eric R.

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The British Arctic Expedition of 1875–6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic where science was almost as important as geographical exploration. There were hopes that the expedition might find the hypothetical open polar sea and with it the longed-for Northwest Passage and it did reach the highest northern latitude to date. The Royal Society compiled instructions for the expedition and selected two full-time naturalists (an unusual naval concession to science) of whom one Henry Wemyss Feilden proved a worthy choice. Feilden was a soldier who fought in most of the wars in his lifetime including the American Civil War on the Confederate side. On board HMS Alert he kept a daily journal a record important for its scientific content but also as a view of the expedition as seen by a soldier revealing admiration and appreciation for his naval colleagues; he performed whatever tasks were given to him including the rescue of returning sledge parties stricken by scurvy. He also did a remarkably comprehensive job in mapping the geology of Smith Sound; some of his work on the Cape Rawson Beds was the most reliable until the 1950s. He was an all-round naturalist and a particularly fine geologist and ornithologist. He was not just a collector; he pondered the significance of his findings within the context of the best modern science of his day: in zoology Charles Darwin on evolution; in botany Hooker on phytogeography and in geology Charles Lyell’s system. He illustrated his journal with his own sketches and also enclosed the printed programmes of popular entertainments held on the ship and verses for birthdays and sledging (there was a printing press onboard). The journal gives a vigorous impression of a ship’s company well occupied through the winter then increasingly active in sledging and geographical discovery in spring before the scurvy-induced decision to head home in the summer of 1876. After his return Feilden had dealings with many scientists and their institutions finding homes for and meaning in his collections. | The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A.

Innovative Behavior of Minorities Women and Immigrants

Innovative Behavior of Minorities Women and Immigrants

The relationship between the innovative behavior and the minority status gender and immigration status of for example owners directors principal investigators and project managers has only begun to be explored especially within and among entrepreneurial organizations. Data limitations are certainly one culprit for the paucity of research in this area but also the economics literature has been slow to move from a technical capital (i. e. investments in R&D) to an innovative behavior focus to an alternative focus that examines the relationship between dimensions of human capital of those who are involved with R&D investments and resulting innovative behavior. The chapters in this edited volume advance this body of thought. These chapters represent foundational research for a nature versus nurture discussion as it relates to innovative behavior especially a discussion that considers the innovative behavior within and among entrepreneurial organizations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Economics of Innovation and New Technology. | Innovative Behavior of Minorities Women and Immigrants
