Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Shadows of the Gallows' is a gripping first-hand account and a somber reflection on the realities of the American penal system during the early 20th century. Written by Patrick Charles Murphy, who observed the machinery of justice from within prison walls, the work delves into the harrowing environment of life behind bars and the haunting specter of capital punishment. Through a series of vignettes and observations, Murphy provides a rare glimpse into the psyche of those condemned to the gallows and the often-brutal conditions of confinement.The narrative serves as both a personal memoir and a social critique, challenging readers to confront the moral complexities of execution and the effectiveness of incarceration. Murphy's writing is marked by a raw, unflinching honesty as he depicts the daily struggles, the camaraderie among inmates, and the crushing weight of institutionalization. 'Shadows of the Gallows' remains a significant contribution to the literature of criminal justice, offering a poignant perspective on the human element hidden within the legal system.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - An algorithm for maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is developed with an efficient method for approximating the sensitivities. The algorithm was developed for airplane parameter estimation problems but is well suited for most nonlinear, multivariable, dynamic systems. The ML algorithm relies on a new optimization method referred to as a modified Newton-Raphson with estimated sensitivities (MNRES). MNRES determines sensitivities by using slope information from local surface approximations of each output variable in parameter space. The fitted surface allows sensitivity information to be updated at each iteration with a significant reduction in computational effort. MNRES determines the sensitivities with less computational effort than using either a finite-difference method or integrating the analytically determined sensitivity equations. MNRES eliminates the need to derive sensitivity equations for each new model, thus eliminating algorithm reformulation with each new model and providing flexibility to use model equations in any format that is convenient. A random search technique for determining the confidence limits of ML parameter estimates is applied to nonlinear estimation problems for airplanes. The confidence intervals obtained by the search are compared with Cramer-Rao (CR) bounds at the same confidence level. It is observed that the degree of nonlinearity in the estimation problem is an important factor in the relationship between CR bounds and the error bounds determined by the search technique. The CR bounds were found to be close to the bounds determined by the search when the degree of nonlinearity was small. Beale's measure of nonlinearity is developed in this study for airplane identification problems; it is used to empirically correct confidence levels for the parameter confidence limits. The primary utility of the measure, however, was found to be in predicting the degree of agreement between Cramer-Rao bounds and search estimates.…
