This book is structured to encompass both the foundational and specialized aspects of quantitative analysis in geography. The basic content covers descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis of geographical data, while the professional content delves into more advanced topics like linear regression analysis, geographically weighted regression analysis, time series analysis, cluster analysis, principal component analysis, Markov chain analysis, and geographical network analysi...

In-depth and systemic examination of distribution automation with specific focus on fault location and service restorationFocuses on the detailed and systemic examination of fault location and service restoration in distribution gridArms the readers with a complete picture of what fault location and service restoration is from both theoretical and practical perspectivesPresents the authors' research on fault location and restoration for di...

System protection is laid between the defenses for power system protective relaying and the emergency control. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of electrical equipment, it strives to ensure the safety of the system, block the chain of occurrence and growth of cascading faults, and effectively avoid the occurrence of large-scale blackout catastrophes.This book systematically elaborates on the dealing technology of a special type of fault, the “cascading fault”, in the AC-DC ...

The book starts from the existed problems in fault analysis of the lumped-parameter circuit model. It firstly introduces the basic electromagnetic phenomenon, uniform transmission line guided electromagnetic waves, multi-conductor system guided electromagnetic waves, fault generated travelling waves; then it introduces series of the traveling waves based protections, which includes principle, technology and application in practical power grid; it also discusses the travelling waves based f...

Identifying some of the most influential algorithms that are widely used in the data mining community, The Top Ten Algorithms in Data Mining provides a description of each algorithm, discusses its impact, and reviews current and future research. Thoroughly evaluated by independent reviewers, each chapter focuses on a particular algorithm and is written by either the original authors of the algorithm or world-class researchers who have extensively studied the respective alg...

In today's world, we are increasingly exposed to the words 'machine learning' (ML), a term which sounds like a panacea designed to cure all problems ranging from image recognition to machine language translation. Over the past few years, ML has gradually permeated the financial sector, reshaping the landscape of quantitative finance as we know it.An Introduction to Machine Learning in Quantitative Finance aims to demystify ML by uncovering its underlying mathematics and showing how to appl...

The book is an authoritative introductory work on electroslag remelting technology for high-quality special steels. It comprises 9 chapters that cover the electroslag remelting technology and propose two innovative process theories. The first is the cleanliness control theory with invariable process parameters, and the second is the homogenization solidification theory of shallow molten pool at ultrafast cooling and optimal melting speeds, both of which were developed by the authors....
