The recent rapid growth in the variety and complexity of new
machine learning architectures requires the development of improved
methods for designing, analyzing, evaluating, and communicating
machine learning technologies. Statistical Machine Learning: A
Unified Framework provides students, engineers, and scientists with
tools from mathematical statistics and nonlinear optimization
theory to become experts in the field of machine learning. In
particular, the material in this text directly supports the
mathematical analysis and design of old, new, and not-yet-invented
nonlinear high-dimensional machine learning algorithms. Features:
Unified empirical risk minimization framework supports rigorous
mathematical analyses of widely used supervised, unsupervised, and
reinforcement machine learning algorithms Matrix calculus methods
for supporting machine learning analysis and design applications
Explicit conditions for ensuring convergence of adaptive, batch,
minibatch, MCEM, and MCMC learning algorithms that minimize both
unimodal and multimodal objective functions Explicit conditions for
characterizing asymptotic properties of M-estimators and model
selection criteria such as AIC and BIC in the presence of possible
model misspecification This advanced text is suitable for graduate
students or highly motivated undergraduate students in statistics,
computer science, electrical engineering, and applied mathematics.
The text is self-contained and only assumes knowledge of
lower-division linear algebra and upper-division probability
theory. Students, professional engineers, and multidisciplinary
scientists possessing these minimal prerequisites will find this
text challenging yet accessible. About the Author: Richard M.
Golden (Ph.D., M.S.E.E., B.S.E.E.) is Professor of Cognitive
Science and Participating Faculty Member in Electrical Engineering
at the University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Golden has published
articles and given talks at scientific conferences on a wide range
of topics in the fields of both statistics and machine learning
over the past three decades. His long-term research interests
include identifying conditions for the convergence of deterministic
and stochastic machine learning algorithms and investigating
estimation and inference in the presence of possibly misspecified
probability models.
This chronological collection charts the change in attitudes to
witchcraft during the period 1560-1736, which culminates in the
educated debate on the reality of witchcraft and the gradual
decline in belief in witches and associated phenomena.

This collection of nineteen short stories deals with murder, the
supernatural, immigration, separation, relationships, love and
life. While the stories are set mainly in rural Ireland some
inevitably cross the Irish Sea. They provide a glimpse of Irish
life fast disappearing and range from dark comedy to poignancy.
In Lady of the Lake the peace and tranquillity of a lakeside
village is broken by the murder of a quiet if somewhat inquisitive
stranger. The ticking of an old clock brings back childhood
memories of a formidable old woman in Kate the Bush. The short
story The Homecoming explores the relationship between a father and
son against the background of immigration and advancing years. In A
Grave Matter Flaherty's Pub is frequented by local drunkards,
headers, wasters and anybody else who happens to be passing by and
has the misfortune to call in.

As leader of the Israeli submarine Tekumah, Commander Gilad has the
sole authority to launch nuclear-tipped cruise missiles against
cities housing millions. But while out at sea, the unthinkable
occurs. Devastating nuclear explosions in Israel and attacks
against Israeli embassies destroy any chance of peace in the Middle
East.
Following the attacks, Gilad has no way to receive orders from
civilian or military authorities, and must draw on all his training
to lead his men and decide how and when to retaliate. Faced with a
lengthy mission, food and fuel shortages, a fire, and an attack by
a surface ship, Gilad struggles to maintain order.
As tensions rise, Gilad must persuade his own officers and
crew, as well as the vengeful commander of a second Israeli
submarine, of the path he has chosen. Sharon, a feisty female
intelligence officer onboard, staunchly supports him as well as
heroic crew members who stand ready to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Now, with millions of lives at stake, Gilad has some hard choices
to make, ones that may very well decide the fate of the free
world.
