This text offers comprehensive coverage of
group cohomology, from
introductory material through the most recent
developments in the
field. The primary motivation for this book
is the interaction of
group cohomology with representation theory,
especially the
geometry of support varieties over cohomology
rings. The
appendices, comprising computer calculations
of the mod-2
cohomology rings of the groups whose orders
divide 64, provide
information useful for further developments
in the field. A
unique feature of this text is that it includes
the concepts that
are the subject of the calculations and are
the source of some of
the motivating conjectures for the computations.
The programs for
computing the cohomology rings were executed
in the MAGMA
computer algebra language. The text is a
valuable resource for
researchers in group cohomology and related
disciplines. In
addition, the book could be used as the text
for an advanced
graduate class or a graduate seminar.

: Volume 561
The book studies boundary value problems
connected with geometric
singularities and models of the crack theory.
New and interesting
phenomena on the behaviour of solutions (regularity
in weighted
spaces, asymptotics) are analysed by means
of parametrices
obtained by inverting corresponding scalar
and operator-valued
symbols. Compared with other expositions
in the field of crack
theory and analysis on configurations with
singularities the
present book systematically develops for
the first time an
approach in terms of algebras of (pseudo-differential)
boundary
value problems. The calculus is decomposed
into a number of
simpler structures, namely boundary value
problems (Chapter 1)
and edge problems near the crack boundary
(Chapter 4). Necessary
tools on parameter-dependent cone operators
(Chapter 2) and
operators on spaces with conical exits to
infinity (Chapter 3)
are developed as theories of independent
interest. The crack
theory (Chapter 5) then appears as an application
of the edge
calculus.
The book is addressed to mathematicians and
physicists interested
in boundary value problems, geometric singularities,
asymptotic
analysis, as well as to specialists in the
field of crack theory
and other singular models.

Description
The advent of high-speed, affordable computers
in the last two
decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric
way of
thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures,
such as function
smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract flavour
as they became
practically implementable. In addition, many
previously
unthinkable possibilities became mainstream;
prime examples
include the bootstrap and resampling methods,
wavelets and
nonlinear smoothers, graphical methods, data
mining,
bioinformatics, as well as the more recent
algorithmic approaches
such as bagging and boosting. This volume
is a collection of
short articles - most of which having a review
component -
describing the state-of-the art of Nonparametric
Statistics at
the beginning of a new millennium.
Key features:
algorithic approaches
wavelets and nonlinear smoothers
graphical methods and data mining
biostatistics and bioinformatics
bagging and boosting
support vector machines
resampling methods
Audience
Researchers in statistics; researchers in
machine learning.

Description
For courses in Bayesian Networks or Advanced
Networking focusing
on Bayesian networks found in departments
of Computer Science,
Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
Also appropriate
as a supplementary text in courses on Expert
Systems, Machine
Learning, and Artificial Intelligence where
the topic of Bayesian
Networks is covered.
This book provides an accessible and unified
discussion of
Bayesian networks. It includes discussions
of topics related to
the areas of artificial intelligence, expert
systems and decision
analysis, the fields in which Bayesian networks
are frequently
applied. The author discusses both methods
for doing inference in
Bayesian networks and influence diagrams.
The book also covers
the Bayesian method for learning the values
of discrete and
continuous parameters. Both the Bayesian
and constraint-based
methods for learning structure are discussed
in detail.
