Ammunition, Demystified - The (Non) Bubba''S Guide To How Ammo Really Works

de Jeff Siewert

~~13,24€~~ 10,59€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher’s Notebook for the twenty-first century. It’s a "soft" technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and "ammo guys" to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition.Ammunition Demystified topics covered are•cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction•propellants and interior ballistics•projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability•trajectory, dispersion, accuracy•barrel: manufacture, fatigue life•ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load developmentwww.bulletology.com

Game Theory, Machine Learning, And Production In Sports - The Fair-Credit Baseball Statistics

de Michael Mcbride

~~74,91€~~ 59,93€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this groundbreaking book, economist and game theorist Michael McBride presents an innovative answer to this question for the sport of baseball: 'How is individual performance fairly measured when success depends on teamwork?' The answer is — the Fair-Credit Baseball statistics.Drawing on the Nobel Prize-winning Shapley Value from coalitional game theory, McBride creates two revolutionary measures of offensive performance: Shapley Run Credits (SRC) and Offensive Shapley Win Credits (OSWC). Unlike traditional baseball statistics, these new measures satisfy mathematical fairness axioms, making them the fairest measures of individual credit in the sport.McBride combines this theoretical foundation with cutting-edge machine learning to analyse over a century of Major League Baseball data, producing the most accurate measures of offensive performance in baseball history. The result is a sophisticated yet intuitive statistical framework that finally gives players the credit they truly deserve for actual results — not projected or average performance.Written for academic researchers, sports analysts, and baseball enthusiasts alike, this book successfully bridges complex mathematical theory with practical application. It offers technical rigor for professionals while remaining engaging and accessible for anyone passionate about understanding what really happens on the baseball diamond.Contents: <ul><li>Preface</li><li>About the Author</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Introduction</li><li>The Game Theory:<ul><li>Coalitional Game Theory, the Shapley Value, and Fairness</li><li>Shapley Run Credits</li><li>Offensive Shapley Win Credits</li></ul></li><li>The Machine Learning:<ul><li>Construction a Value Function</li><li>Training the FCB Classification Model to Do Event-Trigger Scorekeeping, with Robert MacDonald</li><li>Predictive Performance of the FCB Classification Model, with Robert MacDonald</li></ul></li><li>The Fair-Credit Statistics in Practice:<ul><li>Leaderboards</li><li>Coalitions</li><li>Most Valuable Players</li><li>Fair-Credit Heroes</li><li>Great Games Revisited</li></ul></li><li>Bibliography</li><li>Index</li></ul>Readership: Academic researchers exploring innovative applications of game theory will find a detailed presentation of how coalitional game theory can be applied to baseball statistics; Sports statisticians and analysts — including sabermetricians ...

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Test cricket pits country against country in a five-day struggle for cricket supremacy. It is the ultimate cricketing challenge for those players who are skilful enough and dedicated enough to represent their country at the highest level. But Test cricket is much more than that; it is a source of national pride and a mechanism that brings together vastly different cultures and communities, encouraging mutual respect, as well as a shared admiration for the heroes of the game. Ever since the first Test match in 1877, lovers of cricket have argued over who was the best, the best team, the best batsman, the best bowler, the best wicketkeeper, the best captain, the best slips fielder and so on. Of the millions who have played cricket, only 3,162 men have been good enough to play Test cricket for their countries, and, of these, 841 were successful enough to play more than 20 Test matches. This book is about those few – the best of the best. Based solely on the batting and bowling ratings obtained using only the players' statistics, the best Test team for each era has been selected from every Test player who played more than 20 Test matches in that particular time period. The best national teams in each era for each participating country have also been selected. It is hoped that the national and world teams selected here and the comparisons between players provide for enjoyable reading, both settling old arguments and creating new ones.
