Data analysis is now part of practically every research project in the life sciences. In this book we use data and computer code to teach the necessary statistical concepts and programming skills to become a data analyst. Instead of showing theory first and then applying it to toy examples, we start with actual applications and describe the theory as it becomes necessary to solve specific challenges. The book includes links to computer code that readers can use to follow along as they program.

Quantum computing is real, but is frankly surrounded by a thick fog of hype. Do you want to see it clearly, understand its realities, and even consider joining it as a professional software engineer?

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.

I wanted to understand how ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) really work, so I read a lot of books, watched YouTube videos, asked hundreds of questions, and wrote it all down. This book is the result. If you want to understand how large language models like ChatGPT actually work, from tokens and vectors to transformers and training, this book will explain it in a clear, approachable way.

A complete foundation for Statistics, also serving as a foundation for Data Science, that introduces inference using randomization and simulation while covering traditional methods. Leanpub revenue supports OpenIntro, so we can provide free desk copies to teachers interested in using our books in the classroom. More resources: openintro.org.

Greenhouse gas emissions have caused considerable changes in climate, including increased surface air temperatures and rising sea levels. This e-textbook presents a series of laboratory exercises in R that teach the Earth science and statistical concepts needed for assessing climate-related risks. These exercises are intended for upper-level undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and professionals in other areas who wish to gain insight into academic climate risk analysis.

Artificial Intelligence has made a lot of promising breakthroughs, but is it up to the challenge of landing a lander on the moon? Find out yourself by learning the technique of genetic programming and see how well your lander fares.

A book about how to be a scientist the modern, open-source way.

Modelling the energy budget of an animal over its life cycle is a powerful tool to tackle many different applied and scientific questions in ecology and ecotoxicology. DEBkiss is a simplified version of the standard Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) animal model: easier to understand, easier to apply, but still extremely useful.

Una señal detectada una sola vez. Un registro que no debería existir. El origen nunca pudo confirmarse.

Perché la mente non è un labirinto, ma un rizoma

Siamo ciò che osserviamo e osserviamo ciò che sfugge

En 1977, una señal de radio de origen desconocido fue registrada durante 72 segundos. Su estructura fue precisa. Su intensidad, inusual. Nunca volvió a aparecer. Este libro reconstruye el evento desde su evidencia técnica real: detección, instrumentación, condiciones de registro y límites de interpretación. No agrega teorías. No fuerza conclusiones. Expone un caso real que sigue abierto.
