This textbook begins with statistics, presenting concepts and results from probability along the way. Hypothesis testing is introduced very early, and the motivation for several probability distributions comes from p-value computations. The book develops the students' practical …
This book describes a powerful and flexible technique for the modeling of behavior, based on evolutionary principles. The technique employs a stochastic dynamic programming and permits the analysis of behavioral adaptations wherein organisms respond to changes in their environme…
The research of Antanas Zilinskas has focused on developing models for global optimization, implementing and investigating the corresponding algorithms, and applying those algorithms to practical problems. This volume contains new survey papers in which leading researchers from …
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of nucleotide and protein phylogenetic analysis--[P. 4 of cover].
Each tree ring contains an image of the time when the ring formed, projected onto the ring's size, structure, and composition. Tree rings thus are natural archives of past environments, and contain records of past climate. While dendrochronologists have investigated the impact…
Computational modelling plays a central role in cognitive science. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to computational models of human cognition. It covers major approaches and architectures, both neural network and symbolic; major theoretical issues; and specific c…
