Data Science: Best Practices mit Python
by Benjamin M. Abdel-KarimDieses Buch entstand aus der Motivation heraus, eines der ersten deutschsprachigen Nachschlagewerke zu entwickeln, in welchem relativ simple Quellcode-Beispiele enthalten sind, um so Lösungsansätze für die (wiederkehrenden) Programmierprobleme in der Datenanalyse weiterzugeben. Dabei ist dieses Werk nicht uneigennützig verfasst worden. Es enthält Lösungswege für immer wiederkehrende Problemstellungen die ich über meinen täglichen Umgang entwickelt habe Zweifellos gehört das Nachschlagen von Lösungsansätzen in Büchern oder im Internet zur normalen Arbeit eines Programmierers. Allerdings ist diese Suche in der Regel ein unstrukturierter und damit, zumindest teilweise, ein zeitaufwendiger Prozess.Unabhängig davon, ob Sie das Buch als Student, Mitarbeiter oder Gründer lesen, hoffe ich, dass Ihnen dieses Nachschlagewerk ein wertvoller Helfer für die ersten Anfänge sein wird. Ich gehe davon aus, dass jede Person die Grundlagen der Datenanalyse mit Hilfe moderner Programmiersprachen erlernen kann.

Data Smart
by John W. ForemanData Science gets thrown around in the press like it's magic. Major retailers are predicting everything from when their customers are pregnant to when they want a new pair of Chuck Taylors. It's a brave new world where seemingly meaningless data can be transformed into valuable insight to drive smart business decisions.But how does one exactly do data science? Do you have to hire one of these priests of the dark arts, the "data scientist," to extract this gold from your data? Nope.Data science is little more than using straight-forward steps to process raw data into actionable insight. And in Data Smart, author and data scientist John Foreman will show you how that's done within the familiar environment of a spreadsheet. Why a spreadsheet? It's comfortable! You get to look at the data every step of the way, building confidence as you learn the tricks of the trade. Plus, spreadsheets are a vendor-neutral place to learn data science without the hype. But don't let the Excel sheets fool you. This is a book for those serious about learning the analytic techniques, the math and the magic, behind big data. Each chapter will cover a different technique in a spreadsheet so you can follow along:Mathematical optimization, including non-linear programming and genetic algorithmsClustering via k-means, spherical k-means, and graph modularityData mining in graphs, such as outlier detectionSupervised AI through logistic regression, ensemble models, and bag-of-words modelsForecasting, seasonal adjustments, and prediction intervals through monte carlo simulationMoving from spreadsheets into the R programming languageYou get your hands dirty as you work alongside John through each technique. But never fear, the topics are readily applicable and the author laces humor throughout. You'll even learn what a dead squirrel has to do with optimization modeling, which you no doubt are dying to know.
