The Essentials of Data Science: Knowledge Discovery Using R presents the concepts of data science through a hands-on approach using free and open source software. It systematically drives an accessible journey through data analysis and machine learning to discover and share knowledge from data.Building on over thirty years’ experience in teaching and practising data science, the author encourages a programming-by-example approach to ensure students and practitioners attune to the practise of data science while building their data skills. Proven frameworks are provided as reusable templates. Real world case studies then provide insight for the data scientist to swiftly adapt the templates to new tasks and datasets. The book begins by introducing data science. It then reviews R’s capabilities for analysing data by writing computer programs. These programs are developed and explained step by step. From analysing and visualising data, the framework moves on to tried and tested machine learning techniques for predictive modelling and knowledge discovery. Literate programming and a consistent style are a focus throughout the book.
Mining is, of course, important in Minecraft, but growing and caring for the world's plants may be even more important. Without wood, you can't make tools or weapons, and without other plants such as wheat or carrots, you can't make food or breed animals. This book shows Minecraft fans more about the plants in the game and how they compare to plants in the real world. Through colorful illustrations, they'll learn how to grow, care for, and use the game's plants to survive and prosper.
FULLY UPDATED for the 2024 TAX Laws, Tax Tables, and more Whose retirement are you planning for-YOURS... OR Uncle Sam's? It's your choice. I'm planning to pay as little as ZERO income taxes in my retirement. How about you? Get Me to ZERO(TM) describes seven synergistic tax strategies to help you legally get your future assets and cash flow off the IRS's radar screen and pay as little as ZERO income taxes during retirement. My book explains how implementing these seven proven tax strategies can offer up to 20%-40% more spendable retirement income than traditional 401(k)s, TSPs, 403(b)s, and IRAs. Of course, ROTH contributions and conversions are fully discussed. Those are 2 of the 7 strategies. Also described is an amazing little-known, tax-free strategy of using OPM (Other People's Money) to fund your TAX-FREE retirement I've been a practicing Certified Financial Planner(TM) (CFP(R)) for over 20 years, serving clients across the country.Most of them I've never met. My financial planning practice and this book are centered on these firm beliefs: 1) People should not pay a dime more in taxes than the law requires2) Nor should they take an ounce more risk than necessary to reach their financial goals. Judge Learned Hand, a federal district and appellate judge for more than 50 years, is said to have been the most influential judge in the U.S. who never sat on the Supreme Court. Judge Hand said, "Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes." "Over and over again, the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands." That, in a nutshell, is the legal basis for the Get Me to ZERO(TM) strategies. Proactively and systematically arranging our financial affairs so that our future income taxes will be as low as possible. And this book is not about tax loopholes Not one strategy is a loophole. Author Tom Wheelwright (he's Rich Dad Poor Dad's personal CPA) says, "After all, the tax law is really a map - a treasure map. As you follow this map, your taxes go down." The more sources of non-taxable retirement cash flow-the better. Use the full tax code to make as much of your retirement cash flow legally "invisible" to the IRS. There are not even lines for these tax-free incomes on your 1040 tax form. None. If we can't eliminate future income taxes in retirement, we at least want to minimize them by becoming fully informed. Proactively using the tax code as it is written and intended is legal tax avoidance-NOT tax evasion. Does your current retirement planning include planning for future income taxes? Do you have a tax-smart exit strategy for your 401K and IRA so that you can spend and enjoy more of your hard-earned savings-and pay the IRS less? The primary goal of this book is to show people how to implement a holistic and comprehensive planning approach that employs several tax-diverse strategies to help people become more financially confident and secure today while preparing for an extraordinary retirement. Be tax savvy. Pay the IRS less. Keep more and have a better life Fully UPDATED for 2024 with the NEW TAX LAWS, TAX TABLES, etc. cash value life insurance, IUL, reverse mortgages, QCD, home exemption, muni bonds, Social Security taxation, etc.]

From 1949 to 1968 author Robert van Gulick wrote 15 novels, two novellas and eight short stories featuring Judge Dee, a Chinese magistrate and detective from the Tang dynasty. In addition to providing the setting for riveting mysteries, Dee's world highlighted aspects of traditional Chinese culture through his personal relationships with his wives, his lieutenants and the citizens he served with dedication on the emperor's behalf. This book gives a synopsis of each Judge Dee story, along with commentary on plots, characters, themes and historical details. Exploring van Gulik's influence on Chinese and Western detective fiction and on the image of China in popular 20th century American literature, this study brings to light a significant contributor to the development of detective fiction.

The Philosophies of F. R. Tennant and John Dewey is a book written by J. Oliver Buswell Jr. that explores the philosophical ideas of two prominent thinkers of the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the ideas and arguments put forth by F. R. Tennant and John Dewey, examining their views on topics such as metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and religion.Tennant was a British philosopher who believed in the importance of reason and empirical evidence in understanding the world. He argued that the universe was a rational and ordered system, and that humans could use their reason to uncover its secrets. Dewey, on the other hand, was an American philosopher who emphasized the importance of experience and practical knowledge in understanding the world. He believed that knowledge was not static, but rather constantly evolving through experimentation and observation.Buswell Jr. compares and contrasts the philosophies of Tennant and Dewey, highlighting their similarities and differences. He also explores the impact that their ideas had on the development of philosophy in the 20th century, and how their work continues to influence contemporary thought.Overall, The Philosophies of F. R. Tennant and John Dewey is a comprehensive and insightful examination of two important philosophical thinkers, and their contributions to the field of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
