This third edition of Paul Murrell's classic book on using R for graphics represents a major update, with a complete overhaul in focus and scope. It focuses primarily on the two core graphics packages in R - graphics and grid - and has a new section on integrating graphics. This section includes three new chapters: importing external images in to R; integrating the graphics and grid systems; and advanced SVG graphics. The emphasis in this third edition is on having the ability to produce detailed and customised graphics in a wide variety of formats, on being able to share and reuse those graphics, and on being able to integrate graphics from multiple systems. This book is aimed at all levels of R users. For people who are new to R, this book provides an overview of the graphics facilities, which is useful for understanding what to expect from R's graphics functions and how to modify or add to the output they produce. For intermediate-level R users, this book provides all of the information necessary to perform sophisticated customizations of plots produced in R. For advanced R users, this book contains vital information for producing coherent, reusable, and extensible graphics functions.

This book shows you how to analyze data sets systematically and to use Excel 2019 to extract information from data almost effortlessly. Both are (not) an art! The statistical methods are presented and discussed using a single data set. This makes it clear how the methods build on each other and gradually more and more information can be extracted from the data. The Excel functions used are explained in detail - the procedure can be easily transferred to other data sets. Various didactic elements facilitate orientation and working with the book: At the checkpoints, the most important aspects from each chapter are briefly summarized. In the freak knowledge section, more advanced aspects are addressed to whet the appetite for more. All examples are calculated with hand and Excel. Numerous applications and solutions as well as further data sets are available on the author's internet platform. This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Statistik angewandt mit Excel by Franz Kronthaler, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Pour Ie cinquieme congres de la serie, COMPSTAT 82 reunit environ 500 participants d'origines scientifiques et geographiques tres variees, prouvant a l'evidence l'interet persis tant de la communaute scientifique pour tous les problemes de calculs statistiques. Le Comite de Programme charge de l'organisation scientifique du Congres etait com pose de: o S. Apelt (Republique democratique d'Allemagne) - A. Bj6rck (Suede) - H. Caussinus (France), President - Y.

IT-Projekte haben in vielen Unternehmen eine zentrale Bedeutung. Sie binden Ressourcen und generieren entsprechende Kosten. Im Durchschnitt werden in Unternehmen 33 Projekte pro 1000 Mitarbeitern durchgefuhrt und pro Mitarbeiter und Jahr EUR 8.000 in IT-Projekte investiert. Von diesen Projekten werden weniger als die Halfte erfolgreich abgeschlossen.

An theoretischem Wissen respektive an der Ausbildung kann es nicht liegen. Aus Sicht der Autoren fehlt es den Projektmanagern oft an der notwendigen Reflexion, dies besonders wenn die Projekte in kritische Phasen treten. Ein Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den Projektleitern findet vielfach aus zeitlichen Grunden nur unvollkommen statt. Hier setzen die Autoren an. Sie legen das Schwergewicht auf die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren eines IT-Projekts. Gegliedert nach Erfolgsfaktoren fuhrt das Buch zum Thema und veranschaulicht Losungswege anhand von Beispielen aus der Praxis.

This book introduces econometric analysis of cross section, time series and panel data with the application of statistical software. It serves as a basic text for those who wish to learn and apply econometric analysis in empirical research. The level of presentation is as simple as possible to make it useful for undergraduates as well as graduate students. It contains several examples with real data and Stata programmes and interpretation of the results. While discussing the statistical tools needed to understand empirical economic research, the book attempts to provide a balance between theory and applied research. Various concepts and techniques of econometric analysis are supported by carefully developed examples with the use of statistical software package, Stata 15.1, and assumes that the reader is somewhat familiar with the Strata software. The topics covered in this book are divided into four parts. Part I discusses introductory econometric methods for data analysis that economists and other social scientists use to estimate the economic and social relationships, and to test hypotheses about them, using real-world data. There are five chapters in this part covering the data management issues, details of linear regression models, the related problems due to violation of the classical assumptions. Part II discusses some advanced topics used frequently in empirical research with cross section data. In its three chapters, this part includes some specific problems of regression analysis. Part III deals with time series econometric analysis. It covers intensively both the univariate and multivariate time series econometric models and their applications with software programming in six chapters. Part IV takes care of panel data analysis in four chapters. Different aspects of fixed effects and random effects are discussed here. Panel data analysis has been extended by taking dynamic panel data models which are most suitable for macroeconomic research. The book is invaluable for students and researchers of social sciences, business, management, operations research, engineering, and applied mathematics.

To date, statistics has tended to be neatly divided into two theoretical approaches or frameworks: frequentist (or classical) and Bayesian. Scientists typically choose the statistical framework to analyse their data depending on the nature and complexity of the problem, and based on their personal views and prior training on probability and uncertainty. Although textbooks and courses should reflect and anticipate this dual reality, they rarely do so. This accessible textbook explains, discusses, and applies both the frequentist and Bayesian theoretical frameworks to fit the different types of statistical models that allow an analysis of the types of data most commonly gathered by life scientists. It presents the material in an informal, approachable, and progressive manner suitable for readers with only a basic knowledge of calculus and statistics. Statistical Modeling with R is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, professional researchers, and practitioners throughout the life sciences, seeking to strengthen their understanding of quantitative methods and to apply them successfully to real world scenarios, whether in the fields of ecology, evolution, environmental studies, or computational biology.

Ein Buch fur Unternehmen, die vor der Entscheidung stehen: Outsourcing ja oder nein. Welche Grunde sind es, die immer mehr Unternehmen dazu veranlassen, ihr EDV-System aus dem eigenen Unternehmen auszugliedern und einem unabhangigen Servicegeber zu ubertragen? Die Autoren gehen ausserdem auf folgende Fragen ein: Welches sind die Vor- und Nachteile des Outsourcings, welche Risiken birgt es? Wie geht der Prozess des Outsourcings vor sich? Welche Punkte mussen bei der Umsetzung berucksichtigt werden - bei der ersten Kontaktaufnahme, der Ausarbeitung eines Angebots, der Vertragserstellung bis hin zur technischen Planung und Implementierung? Ein Buch, das all diese Fragen kurz und bundig beantwortet und deshalb die Bezeichnung "praktischer Leitfaden" voll und ganz verdient."
