{"product_id":"machine-learning-for-economics-and-isaiah-hull-9781484263723","title":"Machine Learning for Economics and Finance in Tensorflow 2: Deep Learning Models for Research and Industry","description":"Machine learning has taken time to move into the space of academic economics. This is because empirical research in economics is concentrated on the identification of causal relationships in parsimonious statistical models; whereas machine learning is oriented towards prediction and is generally uninterested in either causality or parsimony. That leaves a gap for students, academics, and professionals who lack a standard reference on machine learning for economics and finance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book focuses on economic and financial problems with an empirical dimension, where machine learning methods may offer something of value. This includes coverage of a variety of discriminative deep learning models (DNNs, CNNs, LSTMs, and DQNs), generative machine learning models (GANs and VAEs), and tree-based models. It also covers the intersection of empirical methods in economics and machine learning, including regression analysis, natural language processing, and dimensionality reduction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTensorFlow offers a toolset that can be used to define and solve any graph-based model, including those commonly used in economics. This book is structured to teach through a sequence of complete examples, each framed in terms of a specific economic problem of interest or topic. This simplifies otherwise complicated concepts, enabling the reader to solve workhorse theoretical models in economics and finance using TensorFlow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefine, train, and evaluate machine learning models in TensorFlow 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply fundamental concepts in machine learning, such as deep learning and natural language processing, to economic and financial problems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolve theoretical models in economics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eStudents, data scientists working in economics and finance, public and private sector economists, and academic social scientists\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isaiah Hull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1484263723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781484263723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.79d","brand":"Isaiah Hull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986543837439,"sku":"9781484263723","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5efddbdc-00ae-4f88-8dc0-33278946f4aa.jpg?v=1683283970","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/machine-learning-for-economics-and-isaiah-hull-9781484263723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
