This comprehensive textbook teaches the fundamentals of database
design, modeling, systems, data storage, and the evolving world of
data warehousing, governance and more. Written by experienced
educators and experts in big data, analytics, data quality, and
data integration, it provides an up-to-date approach to database
management. This full-color, illustrated text has a balanced
theory-practice focus, covering essential topics, from established
database technologies to recent trends, like Big Data, NoSQL, and
more. Fundamental concepts are supported by real-world examples,
query and code walkthroughs, and figures, making it perfect for
introductory courses for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students in information systems or computer science. These examples
are further supported by an online playground with multiple
learning environments, including MySQL, MongoDB, Neo4j Cypher, and
tree structure visualization. This combined learning approach
connects key concepts throughout the text to the important,
practical tools to get started in database management.
Credit Risk Management: Basic Concepts is the first book of a
series of three with the objective of providing an overview of all
aspects, steps, and issues that should be considered when
undertaking credit risk management, including the Basel II Capital
Accord, which all major banks must comply with in 2008.
The introduction of the recently suggested Basel II Capital Accord
has raised many issues and concerns about how to appropriately
manage credit risk. Managing credit risk is one of the next big
challenges facing financial institutions. The importance and
relevance of efficiently managing credit risk is evident from the
huge investments that many financial institutions are making in
this area, the booming credit industry in emerging economies (e.g.
Brazil, China, India), the many events (courses, seminars,
workshops) that are being organized on this topic, and the
emergence of new academic journals and magazines in the field (e.g.
Journal of Credit Risk, Journal of Risk Model Validation, Journal
of Risk Management in Financial Institutions).
Basic Concepts provides the introduction to the concepts,
techniques, and practical examples to guide both young and
experienced practitioners and academics in the fascinating, but
complex world of risk modelling. Financial risk management, an area
of increasing importance with the recent Basel II developments, is
discussed in terms of practical business impact and the increasing
profitability competition, laying the foundation for books II and
III.
This book provides a complete and modern guide to web scraping,
using Python as the programming language, without glossing over
important details or best practices. Written with a data science
audience in mind, the book explores both scraping and the larger
context of web technologies in which it operates, to ensure full
understanding. The authors recommend web scraping as a powerful
tool for any data scientist's arsenal, as many data science
projects start by obtaining an appropriate data set. Starting with
a brief overview on scraping and real-life use cases, the authors
explore the core concepts of HTTP, HTML, and CSS to provide a solid
foundation. Along with a quick Python primer, they cover Selenium
for JavaScript-heavy sites, and web crawling in detail. The book
finishes with a recap of best practices and a collection of
examples that bring together everything you've learned and
illustrate various data science use cases. What You'll Learn
Leverage well-established best practices and commonly-used Python
packages Handle today's web, including JavaScript, cookies, and
common web scraping mitigation techniques Understand the managerial
and legal concerns regarding web scraping Who This Book is For A
data science oriented audience that is probably already familiar
with Python or another programming language or analytical toolkit
(R, SAS, SPSS, etc). Students or instructors in university courses
may also benefit. Readers unfamiliar with Python will appreciate a
quick Python primer in chapter 1 to catch up with the basics and
provide pointers to other guides as well.
