Sequential decision problems arise in virtually every human process. They span finance, energy, transportation, health, e-commerce, and supply chains and include pure learning problems that arise in laboratory or field experiments. They even cover search algorithms to maximize uncertain functions. An important dimension of every problem setting is the need to make decisions in the presence of different forms of uncertainty and evolving information processes. The goal of this book is to enable readers to understand how to approach, model and solve a sequential decision problem. To that end, it uses a teach-by-example style to illustrate a modeling framework that can represent any sequential decision problem. The presentation should not require mathematics beyond what would be expected in a first course on probability and statistics. This said, the book is centered on showing how to describe sequential decision problems using notation that is precise enough that it can be the basis of computer software. Python modules accompany most of the chapters; these modules were written around the modeling framework that runs throughout the book. At the same time, any software package that simulates a sequential decision problem, regardless of how it is being solved, can be translated directly into the modeling framework we use. For this reason, we encourage readers to look at any piece of notation as a variable in a computer program.

A handy crash course in personal finance, Napkin Finance is the groundbreaking guide everyone needs to help them manage their money and feel more secure. Surveys have found that two thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test, and nine in ten believe personal finance should become a required high school course. Tina Hay understands the confusion. While attending Harvard Business School, she struggled to keep up with classmates–many of whom came from the banking world–when it came to understanding jargon and numbers-heavy concepts. Tina developed a visual learning strategy using sketches and infographics that helped her succeed in her studies and master even the most complex financial topics.

This book covers smart grid applications of various big data analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning technologies for demand prediction, decision-making processes, policy, and energy management. The book delves into new technologies such as the Internet of Things, BlockChain for smart home solutions, and smart city solutions in depth in the context of modern power systems. Implementing Big Data science for better and safer operation is possible in the context of future smart energy system’s digitization and automation. Smart plugs, switches, devices, smart grids, smart appliances, phase measurement, field measurement, RTUs, sensors mounted on grid-level equipment (e.g., transformers and network switches), asset inventory, SCADA system, geographic information system (GIS), weather data, traffic data, and social media are all expected to become massive data sources. This book covers real-time monitoring, control, and automation utilizing AI to access and extract data features. Big Data analytics is an area that has shown promising results in handling complex problems such as electricity demand forecasting. This book chapter explores the advancements in forecasting techniques of electrical demand. These advancements are explored via survey of existing literature, demonstration of techniques, and a comparative analysis of performance of Machine Learning techniques. Machine Learning techniques, viz. linear regression (LR), polynomial regression (PR), ridge regression (RR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, decision tree regression (DTR), random forest regression (RFR), and K nearest neighbor regression (KNNR) are demonstrated and discussed.
