Bayesian methods for hackers: probabilistic programming and Bayesian inference
No full textBayesian methods of inference are deeply natural and extremely powerful. However, most discussions of Bayesian inference rely on intensely complex mathematical analyses and artificial examples, making it inaccessible to anyone without a strong mathematical background. Now, though, Cameron Davidson-Pilon introduces Bayesian inference from a computational perspective, bridging theory to practice–freeing you to get results using computing power. Bayesian Methods for Hackers illuminates Bayesian inference through probabilistic programming with the powerful PyMC language and the closely related Python tools NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. Using this approach, you can reach effective solutions in small increments, without extensive mathematical intervention. Davidson-Pilon begins by introducing the concepts underlying Bayesian inference, comparing it with other techniques and guiding you through building and training your first Bayesian model. Next, he introduces PyMC through a series of detailed examples and intuitive explanations that have been refined after extensive user feedback. You’ll learn how to use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm, choose appropriate sample sizes and priors, work with loss functions, and apply Bayesian inference in domains ranging from finance to marketing. Once you’ve mastered these techniques, you’ll constantly turn to this guide for the working PyMC code you need to jumpstart future projects

The Spanish and Mexican land grants of present day Cameron County
No full textFor many years the author has been interested in the history of the land of Cameron County, especially the territory surrounding Brownsville. This interest leads to the purpose of this research study, the Spanish and Mexican Land Grants of Cameron County.
The author wanted to make a detail study of each grant but realized that such a study was impossible within the limits of this thesis. A brief history of the land grants is given up to the time of the main partitioning of each grant. These main partitions occur at different times, ranging from 1856 to 1934. After the time of the main partitions, the titles became too complicated to trace with any appreciable degree of accuracy or clarity because of the lack of uniformity in the use of the Christian names and surnames; lack of official recordings of transfers of title to the lands by the heirs of the grantees presents another problem. Two Spanish land grants, the Brazos Island grant and the Padre Island grant, are not mentioned in this thesis due to the complexity of their titles.
The author would like to repeat that this thesis is not a thorough study of the Spanish and Mexican land grants on the mainland of present day Cameron County as this would be a full-time task taking many years to complete, but with this brief sketch, maybe a better understanding can be had of the history of the land in Cameron County
