Book Description to Finelybook sorting
Combine popular machine learning techniques to create ensemble models using Python
Ensembling is a technique of combining two or more similar or dissimilar machine learning algorithms to create a model that delivers superior predictive power. This book will demonstrate how you can use a variety of weak algorithms to make a strong predictive model.
With its hands-on approach, you’ll not only get up to speed on the basic theory but also the application of various ensemble learning techniques. Using examples and real-world datasets, you’ll be able to produce better machine learning models to solve supervised learning problems such as classification and regression. Furthermore, you’ll go on to leverage ensemble learning techniques such as clustering to produce unsupervised machine learning models. As you progress, the chapters will cover different machine learning algorithms that are widely used in the practical world to make predictions and classifications. You’ll even get to grips with the use of Python libraries such as scikit-learn and Keras for implementing different ensemble models.
By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in ensemble learning, and have the skills you need to understand which ensemble method is required for which problem, and successfully implement them in real-world scenarios.

Quickly create consistent checkouts for use within websites, using the power of the HTML5 Payment Request API. This project-oriented book simplifies the process of creating and manipulating checkouts with the Payment Request API in browsers for websites or online applications, using little more than a text editor or free software.
One of the key concerns of any e-commerce company is ensuring customers complete the checkout process successfully, and for them to return. Unfortunately, many checkouts still suffer from a high level of drop-out. The Payment Request API is an open standard being developed by browser vendors to simplify payments for users with a quick and seamless autofill process enabling a broader set of online payment providers to participate in the market. The API is designed to be easy to implement across all supported browsers, and work with any payment type or service provider.
Checking Out with the Payment Request API equips you with a tool set that you can use to develop future projects, incorporate into your existing workflow and allow you to reduce any dependency on complex, custom-made checkouts that might be prone to failure, or unwieldy to use. You’ll learn how to use the Payment Request API to create consistent checkouts quickly and easily, and work through practical example projects that will help familiarize you with using the API. We live in an age where speed and accuracy are of the essence – add effortless flow to your payments using this book today.
What You’ll Learn

Implement the Payment Request API in a project
Explore some of the options for personalizing it for a project
Gain an appreciation of pointers around user experience and how this affects the API

Book Description to Finelybook sorting
Agile Systems Engineering presents a vision of systems engineering where precise specification of requirements, structure, and behavior meet larger concerns as such as safety, security, reliability, and performance in an agile engineering context.
World-renown author and speaker Dr. Bruce Powel Douglass incorporates agile methods and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to define the properties of entire systems while avoiding errors that can occur when using traditional textual specifications. Dr. Douglass covers the lifecycle of systems development, including requirements, analysis, design, and the handoff to specific engineering disciplines. Throughout, Dr. Douglass couples agile methods with SysML and MBSE to arm system engineers with the conceptual and methodological tools they need to avoid specification defects and improve system quality while simultaneously reducing the effort and cost of systems engineering.

Identifies how the concepts and techniques of agile methods can be effectively applied in systems engineering context
Shows how to perform model-based functional analysis and tie these analyses back to system requirements and stakeholder needs, and forward to system architecture and interface definition
Provides a means by which the quality and correctness of systems engineering data can be assured (before the entire system is built!)
Explains agile system architectural specification and allocation of functionality to system components
Details how to transition engineering specification data to downstream engineers with no loss of fidelity
Includes detailed examples from across industries taken through their stages, including the “Waldo” industrial exoskeleton as a complex system
