Translations of Security A Framework for the Study of Unwanted Futures
This book has travelled a long way for a number of years. Starting as an idea in the late 2000s when the Centre for Advanced Security Theory (CAST) was first established under the leadership of Professor Ole Wæver, the idea transformed into a research agenda for understanding how different conceptual universes intersect and entangle when dealing with what we in this book have ended up calling “unwanted futures.

Health Care in the Information Society
The five chapters of Part One have followed a common pattern: building from historical context and example, and charting change over time, into and through the Information Age and connecting with health care. Part Two adopts a different viewpoint: that of the impact of the adventure of ideas of Part One on life and medical sciences and health care services, in their connected transitions into and through the Information Age. Its two chapters might arguably comprise and merit books of their own. They tell stories of anarchic transition in which the author has been both eyewitness and participant and are thus integral with the songline that the book traverses.

Anthropology as Ethics Nondualism and the Conduct of Sacrifice
The problem set that serves to guide my work centers on the basic anthropological ques- tion of what makes human beings tick. For me, that question is posed best in terms of how humans do what they do rather than why.

Practical Statistics for Data Scientists: 50 essential concepts
Statistical methods are a key part of data science, yet very few data scientists have any formal statistics training. Courses and books on basic statistics rarely cover the topic from a data science perspective. This practical guide explains how to apply various statistical methods to data science, tells you how to avoid their misuse, and gives you advice on what's important and what's not. Many data science resources incorporate statistical methods but lack a deeper statistical perspective. If you’re familiar with the R programming language, and have some exposure to statistics, this quick reference bridges the gap in an accessible, readable format. With this book, you’ll learn: Why exploratory data analysis is a key preliminary step in data science How random sampling can reduce bias and yield a higher quality dataset, even with big data How the principles of experimental design yield definitive answers to questions How to use regression to estimate outcomes and detect anomalies Key classification techniques for predicting which categories a record belongs to Statistical machine learning methods that "learn" from data Unsupervised learning methods for extracting meaning from unlabeled data

Искусство программирования на R: погружение в большие данные
R является самым популярным в мире языком статистических вычислений: археологи используют его, изучая древние цивилизации, фармацевтические компании выясняют, какие лекарства наиболее безопасны и эффективны, а финансисты задействуют его для оценки рисков и удержания позиций на рынке. "Искусство программирования на R" – это путешествие, в которое вы отправляетесь с опытным гидом, готовым поделиться всей информацией о разработке ПО: от типов и структур данных до таких продвинутых тем, как замыкания, рекурсия и анонимные функции. Вам не понадобятся специальные знания в области статистики, а программистский опыт может варьироваться от начинающего до профессионала. Вы познакомитесь с функциональным и объектно-ориентированным программированием, математическим моделированием и преобразованием сложных данных в простые и удобные форматы.
