Business English Writing: Effective Business Writing Tips and Tricks that Will Help You Write Better and More Effectively at Work , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min

Everyone wants to know the “who-what-when-where-why-how-how much” immediately, in the first sentence. They need to make decisions. When they read documents, they want to know the important things immediately. They want to know objectives, means of measurement, costs, and returns on those investments. They want to see that information in the first sentences. Good business writing is more about clear thinking than it is about writing style. Writing can only be as good as the thinking that precedes it. You must know what you want to say, what your objective is in saying it, and why it’s important for your audience to read it. Organizing a writing project is very similar to organizing a presentation. The good writer is just as aware of his/her audience as a good public speaker is.After you have organized and outlined the subject of your memo, report, or letter, you should have a clear idea of your main focus. Focus in your business report or memo is your objective - it is the “why” of why you are bothering to write at all. Most business writing has its purpose buried. There is no focus, no goal, no call for action, and no desired end result. If you do not provide the focus, you force your reader to ask questions about your message which you should have answered before sitting down at your word processor.Knowing your audience will help you to organize your material so that it has the best chance of being read and understood. Put yourself in your reader’s shoes - listen, and you will be better received. This book will show you how to write business messages clearly, concisely and simply. It will encourage you to write conversationally, the way you talk, and to write with humanity; that is, from one person to another. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shawntay Fields.

Bayes Rules! (eBook, PDF)

Praise for Bayes Rules!: An Introduction to Applied Bayesian Modeling "A thoughtful and entertaining book, and a great way to get started with Bayesian analysis." Andrew Gelman, Columbia University "The examples are modern, and even many frequentist intro books ignore important topics (like the great p-value debate) that the authors address. The focus on simulation for understanding is excellent." Amy Herring, Duke University "I sincerely believe that a generation of students will cite this book as inspiration for their use of - and love for - Bayesian statistics. The narrative holds the reader's attention and flows naturally - almost conversationally. Put simply, this is perhaps the most engaging introductory statistics textbook I have ever read. [It] is a natural choice for an introductory undergraduate course in applied Bayesian statistics." Yue Jiang, Duke University "This is by far the best book I've seen on how to (and how to teach students to) do Bayesian modeling and understand the underlying mathematics and computation. The authors build intuition and scaffold ideas expertly, using interesting real case studies, insightful graphics, and clear explanations. The scope of this book is vast - from basic building blocks to hierarchical modeling, but the authors' thoughtful organization allows the reader to navigate this journey smoothly. And impressively, by the end of the book, one can run sophisticated Bayesian models and actually understand the whys, whats, and hows." Paul Roback, St. Olaf College "The authors provide a compelling, integrated, accessible, and non-religious introduction to statistical modeling using a Bayesian approach. They outline a principled approach that features computational implementations and model assessment with ethical implications interwoven throughout. Students and instructors will find the conceptual and computational exercises to be fresh and engaging." Nicholas Horton, Amherst College An engaging, sophisticated, and fun introduction to the field of Bayesian statistics, Bayes Rules!: An Introduction to Applied Bayesian Modeling brings the power of modern Bayesian thinking, modeling, and computing to a broad audience. In particular, the book is an ideal resource for advanced undergraduate statistics students and practitioners with comparable experience. Bayes Rules! empowers readers to weave Bayesian approaches into their everyday practice. Discussions and applications are data driven. A natural progression from fundamental to multivariable, hierarchical models emphasizes a practical and generalizable model building process. The evaluation of these Bayesian models reflects the fact that a data analysis does not exist in a vacuum. Features . Utilizes data-driven examples and exercises. . Emphasizes the iterative model building and evaluation process. . Surveys an interconnected range of multivariable regression and classification models. . Presents fundamental Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. . Integrates R code, including RStan modeling tools and the bayesrules package. . Encourages readers to tap into their intuition and learn by doing. . Provides a friendly and inclusive introduction to technical Bayesian concepts. . Supports Bayesian applications with foundational Bayesian theory.
