Abafundi abaninzi kwiminyaka baye bafaka iingcamango kule ncwadi. Ndingathanda kakhulu ukubonga abafundi kwi-Sociology 503 (Iindlela kunye neendlela zoLwazi lwezeNzululwazi) ngo-Spring 2016 ukufunda ingcaciso yokuqala ye-manuscript, kunye nabafundi kwi-Sociology 596 (i-Computational Social Science) ngo-Fall 2017 ukuvavanya uvavanyo olupheleleyo iqulunqwa lale ngqangi kummandla wokufundela.
Enye imvelaphi yempendulo enhle yincwadi yam incwadi yesandla eyayihlelwe yiziko likaPrinceton lokuFundelwa kwezopolitiko. Ndingathanda ukubonga uMarcus Prior noMichele Epstein ngokuxhasa i-workshop. Kwaye ndiyathanda ukubonga bonke abathathi-nxaxheba abaye bathatha ixesha lokuphila kwabo bexakekile ukuba bancede ndiphucule le ncwadi: u-Elizabeth Bruch, uPaul DiMaggio, uFiliz Garip, u-Meagan Levinson, uKaren Levy, u-Mor Naaman, u-Sean Taylor, uMarkus ngaphambi, uJess Metcalf , UBrandon Stewart, i-Duncan Watts kunye noHan Zhang. Kwakuyimini ebalulekileyo-enye yeyona nto ibonwabisayo kwaye inomvuzo kumsebenzi wam wonke-kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba ndikwazi ukuhambisa enye yobulumko ukusuka kwigumbi ukuya kwisiqendu sokugqibela.
Abanye abantu abambalwa banelungelo lokubonga ngokukhethekileyo. UDuncan Watts wayengumcebisi wam wokusasaza, kwaye kwakungumxholo wam ondivuyisayo ngophando loluntu kwixesha ledijithali; ngaphandle kwamehlo endikufumanayo esikolweni esiphelweni lesi sihloko sasingeke sibe khona. UPaul DiMaggio wayengumntu wokuqala ukuba ndikhuthaze ukuba ndibhale le ncwadi. Konke kwenzeka ngomnye kwemini ngelixa besibini silinde umshini wekhofi eWallace Hall, kwaye ndiyakhumbula ukuba kude kube lelo xesha, ingcamango yokubhalwa kwincwadi ayingakaze iwele ingqondo yam. Ndiyabulela kakhulu kuye ngokuqinisekisayo ukuba ndinento ethile yokuthetha. Ndiyakuthanda ukubonga uKaren Levy ngokufunda phantse zonke izahluko kwiifom zabo zokuqala kunye nezisezantsi; wandinceda ukuba ndibone umfanekiso omkhulu xa ndihlanganiswe nokhula. Ndingathanda ukubulela uAarvind Narayanan ngokuncedisa ukugxila kunye nokucokisa iingxabano kwincwadi phezu kweentsuku ezininzi zokutya. UBrandon Stewart wayehlala evuyayo ukuthetha okanye ukujonga izahluko, kwaye ukuqonda kwakhe kunye nokukhuthazeka kwam ndiqhubeka phambili, nangona ndiqala ukuhamba ngapha nangapha. Kwaye, ekugqibeleni, ndingathanda ukubonga uMarissa King ngokundinceda ukuba ndifike kwisihloko kule ncwadi enye ntambama ephumayo eNew Haven.
Ngoxa ndabhala le ncwadi, ndazuza ngokuxhaswa ngamaziko amangalisa amathathu: i-Princeton University, iMicrosoft Research, ne-Cornell Tech. Okokuqala, kwiIyunivesithi yasePrinceton, ndiyabulela oogxa kunye nabafundi kwiSebe lezeNzululwazi ngokudala nokugcina inkcubeko efudumele kunye nenkxaso. Ndiya kuthanda ukubonga iCandelo leNkcazo yeTeknoloji yoLwazi malunga nokundinika ikhaya elinesibini elengqondo apho ndingakwazi ukufunda ngakumbi malunga nendlela i-computer zenzululwazi zibona ngayo ihlabathi. Iingxenye zale ncwadi zabhalwa ngelixa ndibe nge-sabbatical ukusuka ePrinceton, kwaye ngelo liqabunga ndanenhlanhla ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndichithe ixesha kwiindawo ezibini ezinengqiqo yoluntu. Okokuqala, ndingathanda ukubulela iMicrosoft Research New York City ukuba ibe ikhaya lam ngo-2013-14. UJennifer Chayes, uDavid Pennock, kunye neqela lonke lezesayensi zentlalo yolwazi lwentlalo-ntle babenemibutho emangalisayo kunye nabalingane. Okwesibini, ndingathanda ukubonga iC Cornell Tech ukuba ibe ikhaya lam ngo-2015-16. UDan Huttenlocher, uMnum Naaman kunye nabo bonke kwi-Lab Technologies Lab babancedisa ukuba i-Cornell Tech ibe yindawo engcono ukuba ndigqibe le ncwadi. Ngeendlela ezininzi, le ncwadi idibanisa iimbono ezivela kwisayensi yolwazi kunye nesayensi yoluntu, kwaye iMicrosoft Research kunye neConell Tech yimizekelo yoluhlobo lwe-pollination.
Ngoxa ndabhala le ncwadi, ndandincedwa ngophando olunzulu. Ndiyabulela u-Han Zhang, ngokukhethekileyo ngoncedo lwakhe ukwenza iirafu kule ncwadi. Ndiyabulela uYo-Yo Chen, ngokukhethekileyo ngoncedo lwakhe lokuqulunqa imisebenzi kule ncwadi. Ekugqibeleni, ndinombulelo kuJudie Miller noKristen Matlofsky ukuze bancede zonke iintlobo.
Incwadi yewebhu yale ncwadi yenziwa nguLuka Baker, uPaul Yuen, kunye no-Alan Ritari we-Agathon Group. Ukusebenza nabo kule projekthi kwakumnandi, njengokuba njalo. Ndingathanda kakhulu ukubonga uLuka ngokuphuhlisa inkqubo yokwakha yale ncwadi kunye nokuncedisa ukuba ndihambe kwiindawo ezimnyama zeGit, i-pandoc, ne-Make.
Ndingathanda ukubonga abaxhasi kwiiprojekthi ezilandelayo esizisebenzisayo: I-Git, i-pandoc, i-pandoc-crossref, i-pandoc-citeproc, i-pandoc-citeproc-preamble, i-Hypothesis, i-Middleman, i-Bootstrap, i-Nokogiri, i-GNU Yenza, iVagrant, Inable, iLaTeX, kunye neZotero. Zonke iigrafu kule ncwadi zenziwe kwi-R (R Core Team 2016) , kwaye zasebenzisa ezi phakheji ezilandelayo: ggplot2 (Wickham 2009) , dplyr (Hadley Wickham and Francois 2015) , i-reshape2 (Wickham 2007) , i-string (Hadley Wickham 2015) uHayley (Hadley Wickham 2015) , imoto (Fox and Weisberg 2011) , i-cowplot (Wilke 2016) iWilke (Wilke 2016) , i-png (Urbanek 2013) , igridi (R Core Team 2016) kunye ne-ggrepel (Slowikowski 2016) . Ndingathanda nokubulela i-Kieran Healy ngeposi yakhe yeblogi eyandiqala ngayo nge-pandoc.
Ndingathanda ukubulela uArnout van de Rijt noDavid Rothschild ngokubonelela ngeenkcukacha ezisetyenziselwa ukuphinda ezinye iigrafu ezivela kumaphepha abo kunye noJosh Blumenstock kunye noRaj Chetty ngokwenza iifayile zokuphindaphinda zifumaneke.
Kwi-Princeton University Press, ndingathanda ukubulela u-Eric Schwartz owayekholelwa kule projekthi ekuqaleni, kunye noMeagan Levinson owancedayo ukuba enze into. UMeagan wayengumhleli ongcono kunokuba umbhali abe nayo; wayehlala ekhona ukuxhasa le projekthi, ngamaxesha amahle nakwixesha elibi. Ndiyabulela ngokwenene indlela inkxaso yakhe iguqukile ngayo njengoko iprojekthi ishintshile. U-Al Bertrand wenza umsebenzi omkhulu phakathi kwekhefu likaMeagan, kunye noSamantha Nader noKathleen Cioffi banceda ukuba le ngqangi ibhalwe yincwadi yenene.
Ekugqibeleni, ndifuna ukubonga abahlobo kunye nosapho. Uxhase le projekthi ngeendlela ezininzi, rhoqo ngeendlela ongazange wazi. Ndingathanda kakhulu ukubulela abazali bam, uLaura noBill, kunye nabazali bam-mkhwenkwe, uJim noCheryl, ngenxa yokuqonda kwabo ngelixa le projekthi iqhubekela phambili nangaphezulu. Ndingathanda ukubulela abantwana bam. Eli no Theo, anikaceli kwam amaxesha amaninzi xa incwadi yam iya ekugqibeleni liphele. Ewe, ekugqityiwe kugqityiwe. Kwaye, ngokubaluleke kakhulu, ndifuna ukubonga umkami uAmanda. Ndiqinisekile ukuba nawe uyazibuza xa le ncwadi iza kugqiba ekugqibeleni, kodwa awuzange uyibonise. Ngaphezulu kweminyaka endiyisebenzele kule ncwadi, ndingekho kakhulu, kokubili ngokwenyama nangengqondo. Ndiyabuxabisa kakhulu inkxaso yakho engapheliyo nothando.
