Data Envelopment Analysis and Effective Performance Assessment addresses the myriad of practical uses and innovative developments of DEA. Emphasizing the importance of analyzing productivity by measuring inputs, goals, econ...

Interest in big data has swelled within the scholarly community as has increased attention to the internet of things (IoT). Algorithms are constructed in order to parse and analyze all this data to facilitate the exchange of information. However, big data has suffered from problems in connectivity, scalability, and privacy since its birth. The application of deep learning algorithms has helped process those challenges and remains a major issue in today’s digital world. Advanced Deep Learning App...

Providing an up-to-date picture of the main methods for the quantitative analysis of text, this book begins by overviewing the background and the conceptual foundations of the field. The author then covers the traditional thematic approaches of text analysis, followed by an explanation of newer developments in semantic and network text analysis methodologies. Finally, he examines the relationship between content analysis and other kinds of text analysis - from qualitative research, linguistic an...

This book explains the Linked Data domain by adopting a bottom-up approach: it introduces the fundamental Semantic Web technologies and building blocks, which are then combined into methodologies and end-to-end examples for publishing datasets as Linked Data, and use cases that harness scholarly information and sensor data. It presents how Linked Data is used for web-scale data integration, information management and search. Special emphasis is given to the publication of Linked Data from relat...

Python is a first-class tool for many researchers, primarily because of its libraries for storing, manipulating, and gaining insight from data. Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the new edition of Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all—IPython, NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools. Working scientists and data crunchers familiar with reading and writing Python code will find the second edition of this com...

Compliance wird oft als Verpflichtung betrachtet, die nur mit hohen Kosten umsetzbar ist. Dabei kann eine effiziente und effektive Umsetzung regulatorischer Anforderungen an die IT-Kontrollen zu einem Wettbewerbsvorteil werden, wenn der richtige Ansatz für deren Umsetzung gewählt wird. Ein solcher Ansatz - eine methodische Vorgehensweise, um durch den Einsatz von Metriken die Effektivität implementierter Kontrollen zu bewerten, Verbesserungspotential zu identifizieren und zu kommunizieren - wird...
