Using the free, open source R language, scientists, financial analysts, public policy professionals and programmers can build powerful statistical models capable of answering many of their most challenging questions. But, for non-statisticians, R can be difficult to learn - and most books on the subject assume far too much knowledge to help them. R for Non-Statisticians is the ...(展开全部)

DESCRIPTION There's a virtual switchboard at the heart of most large applications, where millions of messages and requests need to be routed to and from the servers, programs, and services that make up the system. RabbitMQ is an efficient, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy queue that makes handling this message traffic virtually effortless. Offered under an open source ...(展开全部)

We're all hypocrites. Why? Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. Robert Kurzban shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don't a...(展开全部)

Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? What makes the Swedish thinner than the Greeks? The answer: inequality. This groundbreaking book, based on years of research, provides hard evidence to show: how almost everything - from life expectancy to depression levels, violence to illiteracy - i...(展开全部)
