Wind energy is currently the fastest growing type of renewable energy. The main motivation is led by more strict emission constraints and higher fuel prices. In addition, recent developments in wind turbine technology and financial incentives have made wind energy technically an…
Foundations of probabilistic programming
What does a probabilistic program actually compute? How can one formally reason about such probabilistic programs? This valuable guide covers such elementary questions and more. It provides a state-of-the-art overview of the theoretical underpinnings of modern probabilistic prog…
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…
This book provides an essential introduction to Stochastic Programming, especially intended for graduate students. The book begins by exploring a linear programming problem with random parameters, representing a decision problem under uncertainty. Several models for this problem…
