Part 1. Introducing probabilistic programming. 1. Probabilistic programming in a nutshell -- 2. A quick Figaro tutorial -- 3. Creating a probabilistic programming application -- 4. Probabilistic models and probabilistic programs -- 5. Modeling dependencies with Bayesian and Mark…
"Probabilistic programming is a programming paradigm in which code models are used to draw probabilistic inferences from data. By applying specialized algorithms, programs assign degrees of probability to conclusions and make it possible to forecast future events like sales tren…
Explores the Impact of the Analysis of Algorithms on Many Areas within and beyond Computer Science. A flexible, interactive teaching format enhanced by a large selection of examples and exercises. Developed from the author's own graduate-level course, Methods in Algorithmic Anal…
This volume introduces the theoretical ideas in probability and statistics by means of examples. The strengths of the BASIC computer language are exploited to illustrate probabilistic and statistical ideas. Topics described by the Committee on the Under-graduate Program in Mathe…
Probability and Statistics for Data Science: Math + R + Datacovers "math stat"--Distributions, expected value, estimation etc.--but takes the phrase "Data Science" in the title quite seriously: * Real datasets are used extensively. * All data analysis is supported by R coding. *…
