Data Analysis for Complex Systems (eBook, PDF)

A Linear Algebra Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The analysis of complex systems-from financial markets and voting patterns to ecosystems and food webs-can be daunting for newcomers to the subject, in part because existing methods often require expertise across multiple disciplines. This book shows how a single technique-the partition decoupling method-can serve as a useful first step for modeling and analyzing complex systems data. Accessible to a broad range of backgrounds and widely applicable to complex systems represented as high-dimensional or network data, this powerful methodology draws on core concepts in network modeling and analysis, cluster analysis, and a range of techniques for dimension reduction. The book explains these and other essential concepts and provides several real-world examples to illustrate how a data-driven approach can illuminate complex systems.

• Provides a comprehensive introduction to modeling and analysis of complex systems with minimal mathematical prerequisites
• Focuses on a single technique, thereby providing an easy entry point to the subject
• Explains analytic techniques using actual data from the social sciences
• Uses only linear algebra to model and analyze large data sets
• Includes problems and real-world examples
• An ideal textbook for students and invaluable resource for researchers with a wide range of backgrounds and preparation
• Proven in the classroom
