New Perspectives on Optimization Algorithms Research
Optimization processes are present in nearly all human activities, aiming to reduce time and expenses, conserve resources, and maximize efficiency. Classical numerical optimization methods were initially employed in more complex or elaborate problems. This class of methods was convenient to use when equations could correctly and completely formulate all the attributes of the problem to be optimized and whose search space for the solution had convexity characteristics and was not multimodal. Expressing a problem completely through equations is often a difficult (if not impossible) task because linguistic values or employing quantities that are not easily dealt with by classical optimization methods can only describe certain limitations and barriers. Irregular and non-convex search spaces also present problems for classical methods, especially those with multiple local minima and maxima, as they can lead to suboptimal solutions. In this context, researchers in optimization have presented new techniques to overcome these barriers, introducing new concepts and methods that enable working with problems that are not well-defined and in multimodal search spaces. Many of these techniques utilize artificial intelligence methods, and it is possible to optimize problems where their limitations are not clearly defined or where their search spaces contain different local maxima and minima. This book is a contribution in this sense. In it, the reader will find two sections. The first, titled "Methodologies", presents the frontier of state-of-the-art optimization techniques and their applications to various problems. The second section, titled "Applications," presents examples of practical applications of modern techniques in optimizing issues, which can be easily adapted to others with similar characteristics. Thus, the reader can use this book to optimize their problems by applying the solutions presented in the chapters and adapting them to their specific issues.

Permutation Statistical Methods for Criminology and Criminal Justice
This book takes a unique approach to explaining permutation statistical methods for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, researchers, and other professionals interested in the areas of criminology or criminal justice. The book integrates permutation statistical methods with a wide range of classical statistical methods. It opens with a comparison of two models of statistical inference: the classical population model espoused by J. Neyman and E. Pearson and the permutation model first introduced by R.A. Fisher and E.J.G. Pitman. Numerous comparisons of permutation and classical statistical methods are illustrated with examples from criminology and criminal justice and supplemented with a variety of R scripts for ease of computation. The text follows the general outline of an introductory textbook in statistics with chapters on central tendency, variability, one-sample tests, two-sample tests, matched-pairs tests, completely-randomized analysis of variance, randomized-blocks analysis of variance, simple linear regression and correlation, and the analysis of goodness of fit and contingency. Unlike classical statistical methods, permutation statistical methods do not rely on theoretical distributions, avoid the usual assumptions of normality and homogeneity, depend solely on the observed data, and do not require random sampling, making permutation statistical methods ideal for analyzing criminology and criminal justice databases. Permutation methods are relatively new in that it took modern computing power to make them available to those working in criminology and criminal justice research. The book contains detailed examples of permutation analyses. Each analysis is paired with a conventional analysis; for example, a permutation test of the difference between experimental and control groups is contrasted with Student's two-sample $t$ test. An added feature is the inclusion of multiple historical notes on the origin and development of both parametric and conventional tests and measures. Designed for an audience with a basic statistical background and a strong interest in parametric and non-parametric statistics, the book can easily serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in criminology, criminal justice, or sociology, as well as serving as a research source for faculty, researchers, and other professionals in the area of criminology. No statistical training beyond a first course in statistics is required, but some knowledge of, or interest in, criminology or criminal justice is assumed.

Ade
The ADE diagrams, shown on the cover, constitute one of the most universal and mysterious patterns in all of mathematics. John McKay's remarkable insights unveiled a connection between the 'double covers' of the groups of regular polyhedra, known since ancient Greek times, and the exceptional Lie algebras, recognised since the late nineteenth century. The correspondence involves the ADE diagrams being interpreted in different ways: as quivers associated with the groups and as Dynkin diagrams of root systems of Lie algebras. The ADE diagrams arise in many areas of mathematics, including topics in algebraic geometry, string theory, spectral theory of graphs and cluster algebras. Accessible to students, this book explains these connections with exercises and examples throughout. An excellent introduction for students and researchers wishing to learn more about this unifying principle of mathematics, it also presents standard undergraduate material from a novel perspective.

Robin Hood Math
How the rich and powerful use math to exploit you, and what you can do to beat them at their own game Everything we do today is recorded as data that's sold to the highest bidder. Plugging our personal data into impersonal algorithms has made government agencies more efficient and tech companies more profitable. But all this comes at a price. It's easy to feel like an insignificant number in a world of number crunchers who care more about their bottom line than your humanity. It's time to flip the equation, turning math into an empowering tool for the rest of us. Award-winning mathematician Noah Giansiracusa explains how the tech giants and financial institutions use formulas to get ahead--and how anyone can use these same formulas in their everyday life. You'll learn how to handle risk rationally, make better investments, take control of your social media, and reclaim agency over the decisions you make each day. In a society that all too often takes from the poor and gives to the rich, math can be a vital democratizing force. Robin Hood Math helps you to think for yourself, act in your own best interests, and thrive.

Ade
The ADE diagrams, shown on the cover, constitute one of the most universal and mysterious patterns in all of mathematics. John McKay's remarkable insights unveiled a connection between the 'double covers' of the groups of regular polyhedra, known since ancient Greek times, and the exceptional Lie algebras, recognised since the late nineteenth century. The correspondence involves the ADE diagrams being interpreted in different ways: as quivers associated with the groups and as Dynkin diagrams of root systems of Lie algebras. The ADE diagrams arise in many areas of mathematics, including topics in algebraic geometry, string theory, spectral theory of graphs and cluster algebras. Accessible to students, this book explains these connections with exercises and examples throughout. An excellent introduction for students and researchers wishing to learn more about this unifying principle of mathematics, it also presents standard undergraduate material from a novel perspective.

Information-Oriented Logic
The book introduces a new form of mathematical logic called "Information Oriented Logic" (IOL). It demonstrates that IOL is capable of solving various classical and non-classical logic problems that cannot be solved by traditional methods of logic. In this book, it is argued that two meaningful declarative sentences or symbols can make the same statement if they express the same thing or referent in different ways. The book treats a piece of information as the referent for a meaningful declarative sentence, thus inventing information-oriented logic. As a result, this book provides a comprehensive guide to this logic. Unlike traditional logic, which uses declarative sentences as the result of logical expressions, this new logic uses pieces of information. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scholars applying mathematical logic to various fields such as philosophy, linguistics, ontology, information theory, computer science, etc. Additionally, it provides a new mereology in which all implications of a piece of information are its parts.

An Empirical Study of Re-Sampling Techniques as a Method for Improving Error Estimates in Split-Plot Designs
For any acquisition program, whether Department of Defense (DOD) or industry related, the primary driving factor behind the success of a program is whether or not the program remains within budget, stays on schedule and meets the defined performance requirements. If any of these three criteria are not met, the program manager may need to make challenging decisions. Typically, if the program is expected to not stay within budget or is expected to be delayed for one reason or another, the program manager will tend to limit areas of testing in order to meet these criteria. The result tends to be a reduction in the test budget and/or a shortening in the test timeline, both of which are already lean. The T and E community needs new test methodologies to test systems and gain insight on whether a system meets performance standards, within the budget and timeline constraints. In particular, both fundamental and advanced aspects of experimental design need to be adapted. The use of experiential design within DOD has continued to grow because of the needed adaptation. Many different types of experiments have been used. An experimental design that is often needed is one that involves a restricted randomization design such as a split-plot design. Split-plot designs arise when specific factors are difficult (or impossible) to vary, a frequent occurrence within the T and E community.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
