Data Science and Analytics with Python is designed for
practitioners in data science and data analytics in both academic
and business environments. The aim is to present the reader with
the main concepts used in data science using tools developed in
Python, such as SciKit-learn, Pandas, Numpy, and others. The use of
Python is of particular interest, given its recent popularity in
the data science community. The book can be used by seasoned
programmers and newcomers alike. The book is organized in a way
that individual chapters are sufficiently independent from each
other so that the reader is comfortable using the contents as a
reference. The book discusses what data science and analytics are,
from the point of view of the process and results obtained.
Important features of Python are also covered, including a Python
primer. The basic elements of machine learning, pattern
recognition, and artificial intelligence that underpin the
algorithms and implementations used in the rest of the book also
appear in the first part of the book. Regression analysis using
Python, clustering techniques, and classification algorithms are
covered in the second part of the book. Hierarchical clustering,
decision trees, and ensemble techniques are also explored, along
with dimensionality reduction techniques and recommendation
systems. The support vector machine algorithm and the Kernel trick
are discussed in the last part of the book. About the Author Dr.
