Sommario/riassunto

Bayesian nonparametrics works - theoretically, computationally. The



theory provides highly flexible models whose complexity grows appropriately with the amount of data. Computational issues, though challenging, are no longer intractable. All that is needed is an entry point: this intelligent book is the perfect guide to what can seem a forbidding landscape. Tutorial chapters by Ghosal, Lijoi and Prünster, Teh and Jordan, and Dunson advance from theory, to basic models and hierarchical modeling, to applications and implementation, particularly in computer science and biostatistics. These are complemented by companion chapters by the editors and Griffin and Quintana, providing additional models, examining computational issues, identifying future growth areas, and giving links to related topics. This coherent text gives ready access both to underlying principles and to state-of-the-art practice. Specific examples are drawn from information retrieval, NLP, machine vision, computational biology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics.

Sommario/riassunto

Im strategischen Management werden eine Vielzahl von Instrumenten für die strategische Analyse, die Strategieentwicklung und -umsetzung eingesetzt. Das Buch stellt die wichtigsten Instrumente einzeln vor und diskutiert deren Entwicklung und theoretischen Hintergrund. Die Vor- und Nachteile der jeweiligen Instrumente werden dabei intensiv beleuchtet. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf einer genauen Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung, sodass der Leser die Methode sofort anwenden kann und typische Anwendungs- und Interpretationsfehler vermeidet. Die Neuauflage wurde aktualisiert und um das Kapitel Benchmarking erweitert.
