Companies have more data at their fingertips than ever before. Yet, studies show that many executives and organizations fail to extract real value from it. Challenging the conventional wisdom of data-driven decision-making, marketing professors and behavioral scientists Bart De Langhe and Stefano Puntoni argue that many analytics efforts flounder because data analyses are disconnected from the decisions to be made. In their important book, they offer a new approach they call decision-driven analytics. Counterintuitively, they argue that the key to making good decisions with data is to start by putting data in the background. Drawing from their own research and teaching, as well as real-world business cases, De Langhe and Puntoni offer four pillars of decision-driven analytics and guide you around common mistakes that have held back many organizations from using data for impact. In Decision-Driven Analytics, you will learn how to: + Avoid common pitfalls in data-driven decision-making; + Close the gap between managers and decision-making on one side, and data scientists and data analytics on the other; + Enhance the impact of data analytics on business outcomes; + Think without data to make better decisions; + Prepare for artificial intelligence's impact on data analytics; and + Evaluate the ...

Machine Learning is an integral tool in a business analyst’s arsenal because the rate at which data is being generated from different sources is increasing and working on complex unstructured data is becoming inevitable. Data collection, data cleaning, and data mining are rapidly becoming more difficult to analyze than just importing information from a primary or secondary source. The machine learning model plays a crucial role in predicting the future performance and results of a company. In real-time, data collection and data wrangling are the important steps in deploying the models. Analytics is a tool for visualizing and steering data and statistics. Business analysts can work with different datasets -- choosing an appropriate machine learning model results in accurate analyzing, forecasting the future, and making informed decisions.

Je skvělou pomůckou pro pravidelné cvičení doma a pomůže vám rychle dosáhnout pozitivních výsledků. V 50 letech mívají muži již mírně sníženou hladinu hormonů, a proto by již od 45 let měli začít preventivně udržovat hladinu svých hormonů na dobré úrovni, aby předešli symptomům nízké hladiny těchto hormonů. Avšak také mladší muži, kteří zažívají ve svém životě velký stres, by měli začít cvičit již dříve, neboť stres snižuje tvorbu hormonů a symptomy nízké hladiny hormonů se mohou objevovat i u mladších mužů. Tato kniha vám pomůže při vašem každodenním cvičení hormonální jógy, avšak konkrétní výsledky budou záviset na tom, kolikrát týdně ji budete cvičit. Každodenní cvičení vám přinese nejlepší výsledky a velmi rychle zvýší vaši hladinu testosteronu.

Knihu Hormonální jógová terapie 2 vytvořila Dinah Rodrigues na základě vynikajících výsledků, kterých dosáhla pomocí hormonální jógy pro menopauzu. "Při rozvíjení této hormonální jógové terapie jsem využila stejné techniky, které jsem - s velmi dobrými výsledky - používala v hormonální jógové terapii pro menopauzu a andropauzu. V tomto případě jsem se však zaměřila na jiné žlázy - na hypofýzu, štítnou žlázu, játra, nadledvinky a zejména na slinivku břišní. V případě diabetu je také velmi důležité soustředit se na snižování stresu, neboť tento má velmi negativní vliv na naše zdraví a výrazně zvyšuje naši hladinu cukru v krvi. Sestavila jsem proto speciální druh dynamické a energické jógy, kterou jsem zkombinovala s pečlivě vybranými dechovými technikami (pránájámou), jež jsou zaměřeny na aktivování jednotlivých žláz. Pro zesílení účinku, kterých je možné dosáhnout pomocí ásan a dechových technik, jsem do Hormonální jógové terapie 2 zařadila také tibetskou techniku k nasměrovávání prány do konkrétních žláz, jež byly při daném cvičení aktivovány."

Kniha o vůli k životu. Max Rodrigues Garcia (1924) přežil v letech 1943–1945 čtyři koncentrační tábory i pochod smrti; Američané ho osvobodili v rakouském Ebensee. Začal pro ně pracovat jako tlumočník a rozhodl se, že se do rodného Nizozemska už nevrátí. Byl přesvědčený, že z jeho židovské rodiny stejně nikdo nezůstal naživu. Po válce se chtěl stát Američanem se vším všudy – od imitace amerického vystupování a pití coca-coly po sdílení víry v zemi neomezených možností. Po několika pokusech o nový začátek si natrvalo vybral San Francisco. Teprve devět let po svém osvobození právě tam dokázal zakotvit. Garciova kniha je neobvyklým vzpomínáním. Autor totiž nevypráví jen o prožitém utrpení, ale především o důsledcích, které mělo pro celý jeho další život – a o tom, jak musel své představy měnit. V závěru jsou připojeny zpovědi jeho dětí a vnuků, což naznačuje, že se mu podařilo v životě uspět. Takže přece jen americký happy-end? Ne tak docela. Další generace totiž kriticky popisují, jak se vyrůstá s traumaty holocaustu. Přesto ani jejich svědectví nevyvolává skepsi a smutek. Naopak. Příběh Maxe Garcii je plný tvrdohlavé životní energie. Vypráví o tom, že i tak děsivou zkušenost lze zkrotit a znovu naplno žít.

There are many webinars and training courses on Data Analytics for Internal Auditors, but no handbook written from the practitioner’s viewpoint covering not only the need and the theory, but a practical hands-on approach to conducting Data Analytics. The spread of IT systems makes it necessary that auditors as well as management have the ability to examine high volumes of data and transactions to determine patterns and trends. The increasing need to continuously monitor and audit IT systems has created an imperative for the effective use of appropriate data mining tools. This book takes an auditor from a zero base to an ability to professionally analyze corporate data seeking anomalies.

We are drowning in data but are starved for knowledge. Data Analytics is the discipline of extracting actionable insights by structuring, processing, analysing and visualising data using methods and software tools. Hence, we gain knowledge by understanding the data. A roadmap to achieve this is encapsulated in the knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) process. Databases help us store data in a structured way. The structure query language (SQL) allows us to gain first insights about business opportunities. Visualising the data using business intelligence tools and data science languages deepens our understanding of the key performance indicators and business characteristics. This can be used to create relevant classification and prediction models; for instance, to provide customers with the appropriate products or predict the eruption time of geysers. Machine learning algorithms help us in this endeavour. Moreover, we can create new classes using unsupervised learning methods, which can be used to define new market segments or group customers with similar characteristics. Finally, artificial intelligence allows us to reason under uncertainty and find optimal solutions for business challenges. All these topics are covered in this book with a hands-on process, which means we use numerous examples to introduce the concepts and several software ... Unknown localization key: "more"
