Data science has never had more influence on the world. Large
companies are now seeing the benefit of employing data scientists
to interpret the vast amounts of data that now exists. However, the
field is so new and is evolving so rapidly that the analysis
produced can be haphazard at best. The 9 Pitfalls of Data Science
shows us real-world examples of what can go wrong. Written to be an
entertaining read, this invaluable guide investigates the all too
common mistakes of data scientists - who can be plagued by lazy
thinking, whims, hunches, and prejudices - and indicates how they
have been at the root of many disasters, including the Great
Recession. Gary Smith and Jay Cordes emphasise how scientific rigor
and critical thinking skills are indispensable in this age of Big
Data, as machines often find meaningless patterns that can lead to
dangerous false conclusions. The 9 Pitfalls of Data Science is
loaded with entertaining tales of both successful and misguided
approaches to interpreting data, both grand successes and epic
failures. These cautionary tales will not only help data scientists
be more effective, but also help the public distinguish between
good and bad data science.
