Wavelets from a Statistical Perspective
Wavelets from a Statistical Perspective offers a modern, 2nd generation look on wavelets, far beyond the rigid setting of the equispaced, dyadic wavelets in the early days. With the methods of this book, based on the lifting scheme, researchers can set up a wavelet or another multiresolution analysis adapted to their data, ranging from images to scattered data or other irregularly spaced observations. Whereas classical wavelets stand a bit apart from other nonparametric methods, this book adds a multiscale touch to your spline, kernel or local polynomial smoothing procedure, thereby extending its applicability to nonlinear, nonparametric processing for piecewise smooth data.One of the chapters of the book constructs B-spline wavelets on nonequispaced knots and multiscale local polynomial transforms. In another chapter, the link between wavelets and Fourier analysis, ubiquitous in the classical approach, is explained, but without being inevitable. In further chapters the discrete wavelet transform is contrasted with the continuous version, the nondecimated (or maximal overlap) transform taking an intermediate position. An important principle in designing a wavelet analysis through the lifting scheme is finding the right balance between bias and variance. Bias and variance also play a crucial role in the nonparametric smoothing in a wavelet framework, in finding well working thresholds or other smoothing parameters. The numerous illustrations can be reproduced with the online available, accompanying software. The software and the exercises can also be used as a starting point in the further exploration of the material.

Work Life Well-Lived
This book will disrupt how you think about creating your best work life and workplace and give you a no-B.S. road map to get you there. What you've been taught about how to find health and happiness at work is inaccurate. Yep, it's wrong. If you are fed up with the overwhelming and conflicting noise around how to create a fulfilling professional life or be a leader people actually want to work for, this book will help you cut through the clutter once and for all. Through years of research and truth-finding, Kelly Mackin and her company, Motives Met, have discovered a completely new mindset and approach around what well-being at work is all about, how to get there, and why it's so important that we do get there. This book is a transformative personal guide; but it's also a call to action for a fundamental shift in our approach to work-a manifesto for a human-centered work world. The heart of humanizing work is honoring that we are human beings at work with human needs, and these needs-what Mackin refers to as motives-should be healthy and, ideally, thriving. Ill-being still drastically overshadows well-being at work, but using Mackin's proven framework and 5-step pathway we can change that. You will become empowered to- elevate happiness, mental health, and well-being for yourself, the people you work with, and those you lead;- learn to be mindful of, evaluate, and communicate motives, to ultimately meet them; - create a people-first culture where employees thrive and business thrives;- overcome well-being obstacles by eliminating the "dream killers" that threaten a human way of working;- ditch surface-level connection and friction for more meaningful work relationships with psychological safety and trust. And so much more!*EXCLUSIVE HUMAN NEEDS ASSESSMENT CODE*Are your motives met?With your book purchase, you will receive your code to take the Motives Met Human Needs Assessment to uncover your top 5 motives, the psychological, emotional, and social human needs driving your ability to thrive at work today.

It's about the attainable dream of a work life well-lived for all.

The Genesis of Ethical Leadership
The book has resulted from research into the area of how a person's leadership approach develops. We still do not know why a person displays a particular leadership approach, that is, why some leaders are perceived as "good" (ethical, motivational etc) and others "bad" (oppressive, dictatorial etc). While there are numerous theories and extensive research in the leadership field that describe leadership there has been very few, if any, to suggest how a person's leadership approach forms. This book identifies what is meant by "leadership approach" and the different forms it can take. It then explores the basis of what constitutes ethical leadership.In order to understand what we mean by good, namely ethical leadership the book investigates the philosophical basis of what we mean by good in a normative sense. If a leader is regarded as ethical then they must conform to the requirements of what we understand as good both in terms of their attitude towards followers and other stakeholders and in terms of their legacy.In order to demonstrate the formation of a persons leadership approach the author illustrates the background and influences of four notably great leaders from the past two centuries and asks whether these leaders can, by reference to leadership, be considered great and what we mean by being a great leader. Is a great leader a good leader and would they be regarded as ethical in the true sense of the term?The research into leadership suggests that certain environmental influences in youth operate to determine what type of leadership approach will emerge. By investigating the influence of societal, political, ethical and religious factors that act on a person in their early life it can be demonstrated that such contribute to the development of a person's worldview. Moreover, how these philosophical influences act upon a person not only informs their worldview but their leadership approach.In order to demonstrate the proposed development of a persons leadership approach the book looks at four notably great leaders from the eighteenth and twentieth centuries - Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Charles de Gaulle and Dwight Eisenhower. These leaders are all in the category known as soldier statesmen and were chosen specifically because of their successful leadership across two different domains - military and political.The conclusion clarifies what we mean by a good leader and whether we should be assessing leadership from an ethical perspective rather than the instrumental perspective of leadership effectiveness that is the generally accepted means used to assess leadership efficacy.
Intentional Integrity
Silicon Valley expert Robert Chesnut shows that companies that do not think seriously about a crucial element of corporate culture--integrity--are destined to fail. "Show of hands--who in this group has integrity?" It's with this direct and often uncomfortable question that Robert Chesnut, General Counsel of Airbnb, begins every presentation to new employees. Defining integrity is difficult. Once understood as "telling the truth and keeping your word," it was about following not just the letter but the spirit of the law. But in a moment when workplaces are becoming more diverse, global, and connected, silence about integrity creates ambiguities about right and wrong that make everyone uncertain, opening the door for the minority of people to rationalize selfish behavior. Trust in most traditional institutions is down--government, religious organizations, and higher education--and there's a dark cloud hovering over technology. But this is precisely where companies come in; as peoples' faith in establishments deteriorates, they're turning to their employer for stability. In Intentional Integrity, Chesnut offers a six-step process for leaders to foster and manage a culture of integrity at work. He explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. We will always need governments to manage defense, infrastructure, and basic societal functions. But, Chesnut argues, the private sector has the responsibility to use sensitivity and flexibility to make broader progress--if they act with integrity. "Rob is an insider who's combined doing good with doing business well in two iconic Silicon Valley companies. His book contains smart, practical advice for anyone looking to do good and do well." --Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling
Infinite Impact
We live in an era when misinformation and artificially created content are on the rise. This is breeding consumer distrust, causing traditional marketing and sales strategies to plummet in effectiveness.There is one proven way forward to ensure your business survival and create sustainable long-term growth in your profit and impact. You must optimize your books and business platform by becoming authentically self-expressed in sharing your cause. Only then will your ideal buyers be attracted to you and convert more naturally, allowing infinite impact and personal freedom to inevitably follow.The major problem? The vast majority of entrepreneurs are hustling and grinding, operating out of alignment. Your business is like the game of Jenga. If one piece is out of alignment, it threatens the stability of the entire structure. In Vilhauer's deep dive into what she calls "The Work" (her Foundational Four Framework), entrepreneurs identify their blind spots, overcome resistance, and strengthen their core to then lead their company into greatness.Vilhauer continues by teaching entrepreneurs how to apply this alignment to optimize their marketing, sales, operations, and book launch effectiveness. These very methods enabled her to: ➔ Cut her time spent on marketing by 90% (while no longer wondering where her next client will come from).➔ Improve her closing percentage from 25% to 60%+ (because 95% of incoming leads are now qualified).➔ Double her company profit.When an entrepreneur makes aligned decisions, and their books and business operate harmoniously, congruence is achieved and impact ripples out to degrees beyond what they can imagine.

Recurrence Interval Analysis of Financial Time Series
Extreme events are ubiquitous in nature and social society, including natural disasters, accident disasters, crises in public health (such as Ebola and the COVID-19 pandemic), and social security incidents (wars, conflicts, and social unrest). These extreme events will heavily impact financial markets and lead to the appearance of extreme fluctuations in financial time series. Such extreme events lack statistics and are thus hard to predict. Recurrence interval analysis provides a feasible solution for risk assessment and forecasting. This Element aims to provide a systemic description of the techniques and research framework of recurrence interval analysis of financial time series. The authors also provide perspectives on future topics in this direction.

With more than 40 reflections and exercises, it offers a guided tour to an 'inner gym', showing readers how to cultivate these capabilities.Leaders who have realized that it takes more than IQ and theoretical knowledge to create sustainable impact and are looking for ways to deepen their leadership capacity and authenticity will find them in this practical training manual for the mind.
Climate Activism
What is activism? The answer is, typically, that it is a form of opposition, often expressed on the streets. Skoglund and B繹hm argue differently. They identify forms of 'insider activism' within corporations, state agencies and villages, showing how people seek to transform society by working within the system, rather than outright opposing it. Using extensive empirical data, Skoglund and B繹hm analyze the transformation of climate activism in a rapidly changing political landscape, arguing that it is time to think beyond the tensions between activism and enterprise. They trace the everyday renewable energy actions of a growing 'epistemic community' of climate activists who are dispersed across organizational boundaries and domains. This book is testament to a new way of understanding activism as an organizational force that brings about the transition towards sustainability across business and society and is of interest to social science scholars of business, renewable energy and sustainable development.

Community Disaster Recovery
Disasters can serve as focusing events that increase agenda attention related to issues of disaster response, recovery, and preparedness. Increased agenda attention can lead to policy changes and organisational learning. The degree and type of learning that occurs within a government organization after a disaster may matter to policy outcomes related to individual, household, and community-level risks and resilience. Local governments are the first line of disaster response but also bear the burden of performing long-term disaster recovery and planning for future events. Crow and Albright present the first framework for understanding if, how, and to what effect communities and local governments learn after a disaster strikes. Drawing from analyses conducted over a five-year period following extreme flooding in Colorado, USA, Community Disaster Recovery: Moving from Vulnerability to Resilience presents a framework of community-level learning after disaster and the factors that catalyse policy change towards resilience.

Questioning Beneficence
Effective Altruism is a movement and a philosophy that has reinvigorated the debate about the nature of beneficence. At base, it is the consistent application of microeconomic principles to beneficent action. The movement has exposed that many forms of giving do little good (or do active harm), but others do tremendous good.Questioning Beneficence uses Effective Altruism as a launch pad to ask hard questions about beneficence more generally. Must we be Effective Altruists, or are Effective Altruism and the ideas driving the movement a mistake? How much should we give--if anything-- and how should we give it? What are the respective roles of different kinds of institutions? Is charity anti-democratic and do billionaire philanthropists have too much power? Is Effective Altruism just utilitarianism in disguise?Questioning Beneficence is written by four philosophers, each with distinct points of view. It introduces a new standard for debating ideas in philosophy as each author poses and answers three questions and each of his three co-authors responds to those questions in turn. Finally, the first author replies to his co-authors' responses. Throughout the book, there is a spirit of curiosity, intellectual risk taking, and truth-seeking, rather than point-scoring and one-upmanship. This book demonstrates what open-minded, real dialogue on an important issue can be at its very best.Key Features: Introduces a new roundtable format for philosophical debates: each of four authors takes the lead in constructing and answering three questions, each co-author then responds, and the first author then replies to the others' responses. Explores salient philosophical questions raised by beneficence, like Can philanthropy be undemocratic? Why are people so bad at charity and what can we do about it? How important is beneficence compared to other values? Can Effective Altruism be part of a meaningful moral life? Consistently written in a clear and engaging style, suitable for both undergraduate students and curious general readers

Non-Stationary Stochastic Processes Estimation
The problem of forecasting future values of economic and physical processes, the problem of restoring lost information, cleaning signals or other data observations from noise, is magnified in an information-laden word. Methods of stochastic processes estimation depend on two main factors. The first factor is construction of a model of the process being investigated. The second factor is the available information about the structure of the process under consideration. In this book, we propose results of the investigation of the problem of mean square optimal estimation (extrapolation, interpolation, and filtering) of linear functionals depending on unobserved values of stochastic sequences and processes with periodically stationary and long memory multiplicative seasonal increments. Formulas for calculating the mean square errors and the spectral characteristics of the optimal estimates of the functionals are derived in the case of spectral certainty, where spectral structure of the considered sequences and processes are exactly known. In the case where spectral densities of the sequences and processes are not known exactly while some sets of admissible spectral densities are given, we apply the minimax-robust method of estimation.
