Modelling

This is the era of Big Data and computational social science. It is an era that requires tools which can do more than visualise data but also model the complex relation between data and huma

This practical guide in Eviews is aimed at practitioners and students in business, economics, econometrics, and finance. It uses a step-by-step approach to equip readers with a toolkit that enables them to make the most of this widely used econometric analysis software. Statistical and econometrics concepts are explained visually with examples, problems, and solutions.Developed by economists, the Eviews statistical software package is used most commonly for time-series oriented econometric analysis. It allows users to quickly develop statistical relations from data and then use those relations to forecast future values of the data. The package provides convenient ways to enter or upload data series, create new series from existing ones, display and print series, carry out statistical analyses of relationships among series, and manipulate results and output. This highly hands-on resource includes more than 200 illustrative graphs and tables and tutorials throughout. Abdulkader Alja

～重現充滿生命力、栩栩如生的植物～分析實地植被特色，解說情景植物的製作技法【本書特色】◎由植物專家比嘉基紀介紹「諾曼第」、「阿登地區」、「俄羅斯」、「東南亞」等戰場的植被特色。◎介紹12種植物模型素材，以及樹木的製作方式與配置技巧等基本概念。◎針對不同戰場，解說真實還原戰場實景的植物製作方法。一如模型有看起來逼真的法則，模型的植物也有一定的製作法則，只要依照法則製作，看起來就會很逼真。「植物」的種類多不勝數，很難一概而論，從路邊的雜草到全世界都有的樹木都屬於植物。雖然現在已可透過網路搜尋全世界的照片，但如果模型玩家能請教了解植物的人，重新了解「植物的定義」，說不定會有意想不到的收穫。本書請到植物專家比嘉基紀，為各位模型玩家介紹常見的幾個戰場「諾曼第」、「阿登地區」、「俄羅斯」、「東南亞」的植被特色，包括混交林、針葉林、草原、叢林。也收錄了運用各式各樣的素材，逼真還原植物的製作技法。「如果戰車模型玩家都為了製作更逼真的植物而學習剛剛提到的『階層構造』，一定會覺得製作過程更有趣。在網路搜尋『植被剖面圖』就會出現各種相關的插圖。若想進一步了解植物的形狀或相關的風景，BBC News的《Private Life of Plants》或是Netflix的《Our planet》都很值得參考。尤其《Private Life of Plants》可以看到植物渴望陽光的成長過程，內容十分單純有趣。」「植物會朝明亮的方向生長，若是處在葉子下方的陰影處，就無法維持自己的葉子。葉子下方的空地則會被那些能在陰影底下成長的其他植物的葉子遮住。以森林為例，大樹底下會有小樹，小樹底下會有更矮小的樹木。這就是所謂的『階層構造』，就像這樣，自然界也有自己的法則。」──比嘉基紀（高知大學教育研究部自然科學系理工學部門講師）各位戰車模型玩家啊，若想製作植物，就先了解植物吧。

Mesoscale weather systems are responsible for numerous natural disasters, such as damaging winds, blizzards and flash flooding. A fundamental understanding of the underlying dynamics involved in these weather systems is essential in forecasting their occurrence. This 2007 book provides a systematic approach to this subject. The opening chapters introduce the basic equations governing mesoscale weather systems and their approximations. The subsequent chapters cover four major areas of mesoscale dynamics: wave dynamics, moist convection, front dynamics and mesoscale modelling. This is an ideal book on the subject for researchers in meteorology and atmospheric science. With over 100 problems, and password-protected solutions available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521808750, this book could also serve as a textbook for graduate students. Modelling projects, providing hands-on practice for building simple models of stratified fluid flow from a one-dimensional advection equation,

The pandemic left disorder and crises in its wake everywhere it struck. Drawing on disciplines including public health, politics, and socioeconomics, this book tracks the spread of COVID-19 to weave a coherent picture that explains how scientists learnt about the virus, how authorities reacted around the world, and how different societies coped. Written by a leading team of public health, policy, and economics experts, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of various countries’ responses to the onset of the pandemic, as well as suggestions to increase capacity and capability to fight future pandemics. The first part of the book provides an overview of global governance and international cooperation, economic and social consequences of the outbreak, and breakthroughs in mathematical modelling and COVID-19 vaccines. The second part of the book examines and compares specific countries and regions through the lens of good governance, social contract, and political trust. This book is e

In this concise yet comprehensive guide to the mathematics of modern portfolio theory the authors discuss mean-variance analysis, factor models, utility theory, stochastic dominance, very long term investing, the capital asset pricing model, risk measures including VAR, coherence, market efficiency, rationality and the modelling of actuarial liabilities. Each topic is clearly explained with assumptions, mathematics, limitations, problems and solutions presented in turn. Joshi's trademark style of clarity and practicality is here brought to classical financial mathematics. The book is suitable for mathematically trained students in actuarial studies, business and economics as well as mathematics and finance, and it can be used for both self-study and as a course text. The authors' experience as both academics and practitioners brings clarity and relevance to the book, whilst ensuring that the limitations of models are highlighted.
