Yet very few have left a documentary trail or have survived as an easily identifiable compact corpus. Writing their histories, understanding their social settings and comprehending their intellectual profiles is therefore a challenge.This book discusses the only known private book collection from pre-Ottoman Jerusalem for which we have a trail of documents. It belonged to an otherwise unknown resident, Burhān al-Dīn; after his death, his books were sold in a public auction and the list of objects sold has survived.This list – edited and translated in this volume – shows that a humble part-time reciter of the late 14th century had almost 300 books in his house, evidence that book ownership extended beyond the elite. Based on a corpus of almost fifty documents from the Ḥaram al-sharīf collection in Jerusalem, it is also possible to get a rare insight into the social world of such an individual. Finally, the book gives a unique insight into book prices as it will make available the largest such set of data for the pre-Ottoman period.Book collectingJerusalemHistoryTo 1500Manuscripts, ArabicJerusalemCatalogsManuscripts, ArabicJerusalemHISTORY / Middle East / Israel & PalestinebisacshBook collectingHistoryManuscripts, ArabicManuscripts, ArabicHISTORY / Middle East / Israel & Palestine.002.075Aljoumani Said , authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1262162DE-B1597DE-B1597996517760003316Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture.

Peters, Ido Nevat and Tomoko Matsui) -- 3 Speech and Music Emotion Recognition using Gaussian Processes (Konstantin Markov and Tomoko Matsui) -- 4 Topic Modeling for Speech and Language Processing (Jen-Tzung Chien).This book provides a modern introductory tutorial on specialized methodological and applied aspects of spatial and temporal modeling. The areas covered involve a range of topics which reflect the diversity of this domain of research across a number of quantitative disciplines. For instance, the first chapter deals with non-parametric Bayesian inference via a recently developed framework known as kernel mean embedding which has had a significant influence in machine learning disciplines. The second chapter takes up non-parametric statistical methods for spatial field reconstruction and exceedance probability estimation based on Gaussian process-based models in the context of wireless sensor network data. The third chapter presents signal-processing methods applied to acoustic mood analysis based on music signal analysis. The fourth chapter covers models that are applicable to time series modeling in the domain of speech and language processing. This includes aspects of factor analysis, independent component analysis in an unsupervised learning setting. The chapter moves on to include more advanced topics on generalized latent variable topic models based on hierarchical Dirichlet processes which recently have been developed in non-parametric Bayesian literature. The final chapter discusses aspects of dependence modeling, primarily focusing on the role of extreme tail-dependence modeling, copulas, and their role in wireless communications system models.JSS Research Series in Statistics,2364-0065StatisticsMathematical statisticsData processingStatisticsStatistical Theory and MethodsStatistics and ComputingStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth SciencesStatistics.Mathematical statisticsData processing.Statistics.Statistical Theory and Methods.Statistics and Computing.Statistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.519.536Peters Gareth Williamedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMatsui Tomokoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300253303321Modern methodology and applications in spatial-temporal modeling1522873UNINA
