The design and analysis of spatial data structures

Spatial info include issues, strains, rectangles, areas, surfaces, and volumes. The illustration of such information is changing into more and more vital in purposes in special effects, machine imaginative and prescient, database administration platforms, computer-aided layout, reliable modeling, robotics, geographic info platforms (GIS), snapshot processing, computational geometry, trend reputation, and different components.

Metaheuristics: From Design to Implementation (Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing)

A unified view of metaheuristicsThis ebook presents an entire history on metaheuristics and indicates readers tips to layout and enforce effective algorithms to unravel complicated optimization difficulties throughout a various diversity of functions, from networking and bioinformatics to engineering layout, routing, and scheduling.

Probability, Markov chains, queues, and simulation. The mathematical basis of performance modeling

Likelihood, Markov Chains, Queues, and Simulation presents a latest and authoritative therapy of the mathematical tactics that underlie functionality modeling. The distinct reasons of mathematical derivations and diverse illustrative examples make this textbook without difficulty obtainable to graduate and complicated undergraduate scholars taking classes within which stochastic procedures play a primary function.

Example text

Int lets us create a sequence from one number to another. 01 seq_len creates a sequence from 1 up to its input, so seq_len(5) is just a clunkier way of writing 1:5. However, the function is extremely useful for situations when its input could be zero: n <- 0 1:n #not what you might expect! int, seq_len, or seq_along with plain seq and get the same answer, though there is no need to do so. info | 41 Lengths I’ve just sneakily introduced a new concept related to vectors. That is, all vectors have a length, which tells us how many elements they contain.

Notice that when you assign a variable, you don’t see the value that has been given to it. info x ## [1] 1 2 3 4 5 Under some systems, for example running R from a Linux terminal, you may have to explicitly call the print function to see the value. In this case, type print(x). If you want to assign a value and print it all in one line, you have two possibilities. Firstly, you can put multiple statements on one line by separating them with a semicolon, ;. Secondly, you can wrap the assignment in parentheses, ().

3163 Special Numbers To help with arithmetic, R supports four special numeric values: Inf, -Inf, NaN, and NA. The first two are, of course, positive and negative infinity, but the second pair need a little more explanation. NaN is short for “not-a-number,” and means that our calculation either didn’t make mathematical sense or could not be performed properly. NA is short for “not available” and represents a missing value—a problem all too common in data analysis. In general, if our calculation involves a missing value, then the results will also be missing: c(Inf + 1, Inf - 1, Inf - Inf) ## [1] Inf Inf NaN c(1 / Inf, Inf / 1, Inf / Inf) ## [1] 0 Inf NaN c(sqrt(Inf), sin(Inf)) ## Warning: NaNs produced ## [1] Inf NaN c(log(Inf), log(Inf, base = Inf)) 2.
