This book comprehensively discusses basic data-driven intelligent systems, the methods for processing the data, and cloud computing with Artificial Intelligence (AI). It presents fundamental and advanced techniques used for handling large user data, and for the data stored in the cloud. It further covers data-driven decision-making for smart logistics and manufacturing systems, network security, and privacy issues in cloud computing. The foundation of Machine Learning is the precise use of models and algorithms. Put another way, an algorithm is just a basic procedure for making use of data, either structured or unstructured, to get a result. Concurrently, a Machine Learning model denotes the program–algorithm combination that allows the program to achieve the required objective. Machine Learning models encompass the broader scope of the output generated by algorithms, which are formulas for making predictions. As a result, making the claim that ML models come from Machine Learning algorithms rather than the other way around is technically correct. Viewing the models in Machine Learning will help us comprehend the function of ML algorithms. Presents the advent of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and reinforcement technique for cloud computing to provide cost-effective and efficient services. The text will be useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in diverse fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, computer engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production engineering.

The fields of mathematical statistics, statistical graphics, Computer Science and operations research have created the rich set of methods now called Analytics. Often analytics is characterized along three poles: descriptive analytics (what do data tell us), predictive analytics (what can be forecast based on the data, and with what certainty), and prescriptive analytics (how can the data inform changes to improve system performance). This book focuses on the second pole, predictive analytics. The areas of predicting a number, a class, and dynamic behavior are distinct, with different methods. This text has three parts based on these areas. Topics in predicting a number include simple and multiple linear regression, transformation of variables, analysis of observational data via cross-validation, the generalized linear model, designed experiments, and Gaussian process and neural network regression. Classification methods include neural networks, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, and linear discriminant analysis. Methods for predicting dynamic behavior include trend analysis, time series analysis and discrete-event dynamic simulation. Characterizing prediction uncertainty is a key focus of this text. The text provides analytic methods appropriate to each area, with an explicit process for applying such methods. The text illustrates the application of predictive analytics methods using the R programming language.

This book discusses the fundamentals of wireless sensor networks,and the prevailing method and trends of smart sensor applications. It presents analytical modelling to foster the understanding of network challenges in developing protocols for next-generation communication standards. Metaheuristic algorithms are optimization techniques that draw inspiration from natural and abstract concepts to solve complex problems. Unlike exact algorithms, which aim for optimal solutions, metaheuristics prioritize speed and adaptability, making them suitable for addressing computationally challenging problems with large solution spaces. These algorithms play a vital role in various fields, including combinatorial optimization, Machine Learning, and operations research. In the realm of WSNs, metaheuristic algorithms are instrumental in optimizing routing protocols. WSNs comprise nodes with limited computational resources, energy constraints, and often operate in dynamic environments. Efficient data routing in WSNs is critical for conserving energy, extending network lifetime, and ensuring reliable data delivery. Genetic Algorithms (GA) for CH selection play a pivotal role in the efficiency and performance of wireless sensor networks. The GA algorithm employs evolutionary principles to strategically choose CHs that are responsible for efficient and reliable data transmission in the network.

Why did we write this book? We wanted to help financial experts and investors to understand the state of the art of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in finance. And so, what is Artificial Intelligence? Deep Learning (DL) is a type of Machine Learning (ML) model that is typically used in supervised learning. The main feature of DL is the use of artificial neurons that model neurons of the human brain. Arranging many artificial neurons as nodes in vertical layers from left to right produces a neural network consisting of interconnected nodes. Each vertical collection of nodes is called a layer of the neural network. The layers in between the first and the last layers are called hidden layers. If there are one or two hidden layers in a neural network, it is called shallow ; otherwise, a network is called deep. Therefore, DL refers to learning that takes place with respect to a deep neural network. For context, we note that a linear regression can be implemented on a shallow neural network. No matter the specific industry or application, AI has become a new engine of growth. Both finance and banking have been leveraging AI technologies and algorithms and applying them to automate routine tasks, procedures, forecasting, and improving the overall customer experience.

This book shows you how to analyze data sets systematically and to use the R Commander to extract information from data almost effortlessly. Both are (not) an art! The statistical methods are presented and discussed using a single data set. This makes it clear how the methods build on each other and gradually more and more information can be extracted from the data. R and the R Commander functions used are explained in detail – the procedure can be easily transferred to other data sets. The book thus provides a simple introduction to professional and free statistical software. Various didactic elements facilitate orientation and working with the book: At the checkpoints, the most important aspects from each chapter are briefly summarized. In the freak knowledge section, more advanced aspects are addressed to whet the appetite for more. All examples are calculated with hand and the R Commander. Numerous applications and solutions as well as further data sets are available on the author's internet platform. A free and also professional statistical software is available with the program “R”. “R” is an open source software, many people are involved in its development, and like SPSS, it allows the application of most of the known methods of statistics. The great advantage of “R” lies in its free availability, the wide range of statistical methods and the ever-growing mass of people who use this program and offer help on the Internet. However, a disadvantage is that the use of “R” requires some programming skills. This is particularly the case with complex statistical applications. Those who are not afraid to learn a new software will be well served with R and the R Commander. R is free, available as open source software and we can find numerous aids on the Internet.
