This book provides a general framework for learning sparse
graphical models with conditional independence tests. It includes
complete treatments for Gaussian, Poisson, multinomial, and mixed
data; unified treatments for covariate adjustments, data
integration, and network comparison; unified treatments for missing
data and heterogeneous data; efficient methods for joint estimation
of multiple graphical models; effective methods of high-dimensional
variable selection; and effective methods of high-dimensional
inference. The methods possess an embarrassingly parallel structure
in performing conditional independence tests, and the computation
can be significantly accelerated by running in parallel on a
multi-core computer or a parallel architecture. This book is
intended to serve researchers and scientists interested in
high-dimensional statistics, and graduate students in broad data
science disciplines. Key Features: A general framework for learning

A cunning, ruthless boy does whatever it takes to leave his mark on
the world in this swords-and-sorcery tale! (And don't miss the
manga adaptation, also from Seven Seas.) Noel longs to be a Seeker
like his heroic grandfather, slaying the beasts that emerge from
Abysses and exploring far-off lands. Unfortunately, it turns out
he's nothing but a measly Talker-a job with no combat skills
whatsoever. Undaunted, Noel sets out to establish the strongest
clan in all the land, using his silver-tongued Talker skills to
unite assassins and heroes under his leadership.
(Book). A tradition-rich singer and songwriter, Emmylou Harris
nonetheless defies convention at every turn. She builds bridges
between country, folk, gospel, rock, and bluegrass, honoring and
celebrating the past while retaining a sensibility that is
progressive and experimental. From her harmony vocals on key 1970s
sessions with Gram Parsons and Bob Dylan to her more than forty
years of recording distinctive solo albums, Harris has remained one
of country music's most vital and satisfying artists. This book
complements the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibition
Emmylou Harris: Songbird's Flight , and contains commentary from
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Rodney Crowell and
infamous "Road Manager" Phil Kaufman, along with rare photos not
included in the exhibit.

(Book). The Outlaw phenomenon greatly enlarged country music's
audience in the 1970s. Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson,
Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in
Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their
own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that
prevailed at the time. Complementing the Country Music Hall of Fame
and Museum's exhibition Outlaws & Armadillos: Country's Roaring
'70s , this 120-page, fully illustrated book examines the 1970s
cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the
complicated, surprising relationships between the two.
(Book). Nestled at the southern end of California's San Joaquin
Valley, the city of Bakersfield is best known for farming, oil
fields, and a unique brand of country music called the "Bakersfield
Sound." The term is generally used to describe a hard-edged
honkytonk sensibility characterized by sharp, twanging Fender
Telecaster guitars, crying pedal steel, and straight-ahead country
vocals a sound that thrived in Bakersfield clubs in the 1950s and
'60s. The music emanating from these venues was by no means
homogeneous. One need only compare Buck Owens's razor-sharp
honky-tonk attack with Merle Haggard's western swing and
blues-inflected recordings to recognize that there is no single
Bakersfield Sound. The label is best understood as an umbrella term
encompassing a number of strains developed by Haggard, Owens, and
their West Coast contemporaries. The Bakersfield Sound is a
full-color exploration of what social and economic factors led to
this country music hotbed, as well as a look at the many stars who
rose to fame with roots in Bakersfield. Country luminaries with
ties to the area include Bob Willis, Leon Payne, Jean Shepherd,
Dallas Frazier, Bonnie Owens, Barbara Mandrell, and Ferlin Husky.
Written by the experts at the Country Music Hall of Fame, The
Bakersfield Sound describes with rich words and classic photos how
the deep roots of the Bakersfield Sound are so much more than just
a reaction to the pop-oriented Nashville Sound.
