Out of the Jungle: Jimmy Hoffa and the Remaking of the American Working Class (Labor in Crisis)

Thaddeus Russell


  Out of the Jungle: Jimmy Hoffa and the Remaking of the American Working Class (Labor in Crisis)  Thaddeus Russell  Jimmy Hoffa is one of the most storied figures in American history, a rough-and-tumble Indiana native who became the head of the largest and most powerful union in twentieth-century America. More than a quarter-century after his mysterious disappearance, Hoffa’s legend lives on. Yet much of his life, and the significance of his public career, has remained obscured by myth or entirely unknown. In Out of the Jungle , historian Thaddeus Russell gives us a detailed, crisply written, and fascinating account of Jimmy Hoffa’s life and times, much of it previously untold. Russell argues that Hoffa was compelled by a variety of social forces to place the economic interests of his union members over broad ideological concerns. The most important of those forces was the demonstrated desire of ordinary Teamsters to improve their material lives. “What do you hire us for,” he famously asked a meeting of truck drivers, “if not to sell your labor at the...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Jimmy Hoffa is one of the most storied figures in American history, a rough-and-tumble Indiana native who became the head of the largest and most powerful union in twentieth-century America.

Principles of Neural Model Identification, Selection and Adequacy: With Applications in Financial Econometrics (Perspectives in Neural Computing)

A. D. Zapranis, Apostolos-Paul Refenes


  Principles of Neural Model Identification, Selection and Adequacy: With Applications in Financial Econometrics (Perspectives in Neural Computing)  A. D. Zapranis, Apostolos-Paul Refenes  Neural networks have had considerable success in a variety of disciplines including engineering, control, and financial modelling. However a major weakness is the lack of established procedures for testing mis-specified models and the statistical significance of the various parameters which have been estimated. This is particularly important in the majority of financial applications where the data generating processes are dominantly stochastic and only partially deterministic. Based on the latest, most significant developments in estimation theory, model selection and the theory of mis-specified models, this volume develops neural networks into an advanced financial econometrics tool for non-parametric modelling. It provides the theoretical framework required, and displays the efficient use of neural networks for modelling complex financial phenomena. Unlike most other books in this area, this one treats neural networks as statistical devices for non-linear, non-parametric regression...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Neural networks have had considerable success in a variety of disciplines including engineering, control, and financial modelling.
