This book will teach the readers the wide-ranging alternate applications of AVMs outside of residential modeling - from the universe of Commercial modeling to REO and Foreclosure modeling to MLS-based data modeling to Stress Testing Mortgage or Assessment Portfolios using Challenger AVMs, etc. Also included are many sought-after topics like Excel-based modeling, Forward Sales Sampling to minimize sales chasing, and the proper process to Evaluate a Vendor or Vet a Consultant.

This book addresses several problems related to automated valuation methodologies (AVM). Following the non-agency mortgage crisis, it offers a variety of approaches to improve the efficiency and quality of an automated valuation methodology (AVM) dealing with emerging problems and different contexts. Spatial issue, evolution of AVM standards, multilevel models, fuzzy and rough set applications and quantitative methods to define comparables are just some of the topics discussed.

This book is 100% hands-on with step-by-step explanations and illustrations. Each modeling step - from sales sampling to time adjustment to multi-collinearity to linear and non-linear regression to residuals and outliers analyses to model application - has been thoroughly illustrated with over 100 interactive modeling charts, tables, multiple regression outputs, spatial graphs, data samples, programming inserts and more. And, readers can easily duplicate the steps in any statistical software or in Excel (Data Analysis).

The six-volume set LNCS 10404-10409 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2017, held in Trieste, Italy, in July 2017. The 313 full papers and 12 short papers included in the 6-volume proceedings set were carefully reviewed and selected from 1052 submissions. Apart from the general tracks, ICCSA 2017 included 43 international workshops in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational science technologies to specific areas of computational sciences, such as computer graphics and virtual reality. Furthermore, this year ICCSA 2017 hosted the XIV International Workshop On Quantum Reactive Scattering. The program also featured 3 keynote speeches and 4 tutorials.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic and Applications, WILF 2011 held in Trani, Italy in August 2011. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on advances in theory of fuzzy sets, advances in fuzzy systems, advances in classification and clustering; and applications.
