Source (2/6)

Hastie, Trevor, Robert Tibshirani, & Jerome Friedman. The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction. Library of Congress: Springer, 2009. Print.

This is a rather boring annotated source because it deals mainly with the statistics portion of my project. However, it was extremely helpful in understanding some of Dr. Woods' publications. I now know about B-splines and their functions. This book is fundamental in building my understanding of computer design, and hence understanding Dr. Woods' papers. This in turn will help me build rapport with Dr. Woods so that I may begin my research with him more quickly and begin constructing an academic conversation.
