Data Science for Financial Econometrics
This book offers an overview of state-of-the-art econometric techniques, with a special emphasis on financial econometrics. There is a major need for such techniques, since the traditional way of designing mathematical models – based on researchers’ insights – can no longer keep pace with the ever-increasing data flow. To catch up, many application areas have begun relying on data science, i.e., on techniques for extracting models from data, such as data mining, machine learning, and innovative statistics. In terms of capitalizing on data science, many application areas are way ahead of economics. To close this gap, the book provides examples of how data science techniques can be used in economics. Corresponding techniques range from almost traditional statistics to promising novel ideas such as quantum econometrics. Given its scope, the book will appeal to students and researchers interested in state-of-the-art developments, and to practitioners interested in using data science techniques.

Computational Physics Using Python
This book provides a practical introduction to using computational (or numerical) methods to solve physics problems using the Python programming language, including differential equations, Fourier transforms, Monte Carlo methods, and data analysis.It is designed with a two-level approach: topics are introduced at the lowest level, and readers encounter the simplest examples of coding the algorithm themselves before a second level introduced by the problems allows the reader to use library models and take their understanding to a higher level.The book does not teach Python programming as students traditionally have already learnt those skills before studying computational methods, but it instead teaches readers to apply their knowledge to solve realistic physics problems.The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in physics or engineering. A junior-level university (or college) physics and mathematics background is assumed. But readers will not be prevented from understanding or applying numerical methods because of a lack of knowledge in a specific physics area.Key features: Explores a wide spectrum of topics, from classical numerical methods to solving ordinary and partial differential equations of physics, plus spectral methods, data analysis, and Monte Carlo methods. Includes a chapter on data analysis and statistics, not traditionally covered in related titles on computational methods for scientists. Chapters are accompanied by problems and worked solutions (discussions, example code and output). Readers can access the full set of solutions under the support materials tab at: http://www.routledge.com/9781041116288.

Data Science in Social Research
Society is changing – it is becoming more diverse and digital. Social media today plays a central role in human communication. With a changing society, the way social scientists analyze it is also evolving. In recent years, it has become significantly more difficult to encourage people to participate in surveys. Furthermore, digitization opens up data options that go beyond the survey method. Information published online represents valuable digital behavioral traces and provides social researchers with another important source of data alongside their scientific surveys, which in recent years have increasingly been conducted online.Computational methods have played a central role in social research from the very beginning. This applies today more than ever to data analysis, but now also to data collection. The increasing attention paid to machine learning methods in the statistical analysis of social science data represents a further remarkable development in the analysis of social science data.This textbook addresses these developments and familiarizes readers with both elementary and more advanced methods of data analysis. Fundamentals and techniques of data management, programming with R, statistical data analysis, descriptive and causal inference, as well as predictive modeling are covered in depth. All methods are exemplified using real data either from survey research, the social media platform Bluesky or a large digital newspaper archive. Thematically, these data are focused on current sociological topics, particularly those related to human happiness, energy transition and climate policy, AI, political attitudes and the rise in right-wing voting.Data science encompasses more than the algorithms required for data analysis and statistical learning. No less relevant are the rules by which social research and data analysis are conducted, data quality is ensured, and the results are validated. This textbook aims to provide this overview.

Responsible Data Science
Explore the most serious prevalent ethical issues in data science with this insightful new resource The increasing popularity of data science has resulted in numerous well-publicized cases of bias, injustice, and discrimination. The widespread deployment of “Black box” algorithms that are difficult or impossible to understand and explain, even for their developers, is a primary source of these unanticipated harms, making modern techniques and methods for manipulating large data sets seem sinister, even dangerous. When put in the hands of authoritarian governments, these algorithms have enabled suppression of political dissent and persecution of minorities. To prevent these harms, data scientists everywhere must come to understand how the algorithms that they build and deploy may harm certain groups or be unfair. Responsible Data Science delivers a comprehensive, practical treatment of how to implement data science solutions in an even-handed and ethical manner that minimizes the risk of undue harm to vulnerable members of society. Both data science practitioners and managers of analytics teams will learn how to: Improve model transparency, even for black box modelsDiagnose bias and unfairness within models using multiple metricsAudit projects to ensure fairness and minimize the possibility of unintended harm Perfect for data science practitioners, Responsible Data Science will also earn a spot on the bookshelves of technically inclined managers, software developers, and statisticians.
