Looking for complete instructions on manipulating, processing, cleaning, and crunching structured data in Python? The second edition of this hands-on guide—updated for Python 3.5 and Pandas 1.0—is packed with practical cases studies that show you how to effectively solve a broad set of data analysis problems, using Python libraries such as NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, and IPython.Written by Wes McKinney, the main author of the pandas library, Python for Data Analysis also serves as a practical, modern introduction to scientific computing in Python for data-intensive applications. It’s ideal for analysts new to Python and for Python programmers new to scientific computing.

Consistently rated as the best overall introduction to computer-based image processing, The Image Processing Handbook covers two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques, image p

Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling provides a practical and applied description of advanced issues in PLS-SEM relevant for students, professors and applied researchers. Authors Joseph F. Hair, Jr., Marko Sarstedt, Christian Ringle, Siegfried P. Gudergan combine simple explanations of complex statistical concepts with examples and case studies that readers can follow using datasets available with the book. Furthermore, instead of providing technical descriptions of the concepts with a multitude of formulae, the book will focus on the appropriate analysis of data and interpretation of outputs. Many of the examples are based on the SmartPLS software, created and maintained by the authors. The book is easy to use for both independent and guided learning, including numerous graphs, tables, illustrations, multiple downloadable datasets (provided on a companion website), exercises, and further readings. Where appropriate, supplementary analyses and data mana

As well as providing a clear and critical introduction to the theory, this refreshing overview focuses on the practice of feminism with coverage of actions and activism, bringing the subject to life for newcomers as well as offering fresh perspectives for advanced students. Explanations of the main strands to feminism, such as liberalism, sit alongside an exploration of a range of approaches, such as radical, anarchist and Marxist feminism, and provide much-needed context against which more familiar historical themes may be understood. The author's broad and inclusive view conveys the diversity and disagreement within feminism with accessible clarity. The analysis of key terms equips readers with a critical understanding of the vocabulary of feminist debates that will be invaluable to undergraduate students.

Language learning research aims to describe and fully explain how and why language learning takes place, but can fall short of its stated purpose. Systematic, rigorous research is needed if the growing field of language learning is to progress methodically. This book demonstrates and fully explains such a methodology. Given that research in language acquisition yields practical pedagogical implications, it is crucial that it is rigorous and accurate.This book offers a quantitative research methodology that relies on statistical analysis in order to make inferences and conclusions about language learning. Experimental research aims to understand differences between or within groups of learners under manipulated environments. It requires strict control of conditions, enabling interpretations with a low factor of error. Aek Phakiti provides step-by-step guidelines and underlying principles, epistemology and methodology, in a book that is essential for advanced students of language acquisi
