Statistical methods are a key part of data science, yet few data
scientists have formal statistical training. Courses and books on
basic statistics rarely cover the topic from a data science
perspective. The second edition of this popular guide adds
comprehensive examples in Python, provides practical guidance on
applying statistical methods to data science, tells you how to
avoid their misuse, and gives you advice on what’s important and
what’s not. Many data science resources incorporate statistical
methods but lack a deeper statistical perspective. If you’re
familiar with the R or Python programming languages and have some
exposure to statistics, this quick reference bridges the gap in an
accessible, readable format. With this book, you’ll learn: Why
exploratory data analysis is a key preliminary step in data science
How random sampling can reduce bias and yield a higher-quality
dataset, even with big data How the principles of experimental
design yield definitive answers to questions How to use regression
to estimate outcomes and detect anomalies Key classification
techniques for predicting which categories a record belongs to
Statistical machine learning methods that "learn" from data
Unsupervised learning methods for extracting meaning from unlabeled
data
Conceived in 1976 and published in 1980, LEGEND exemplifies the
political and linguistic commitments of then-nascent Language
writing. Coauthored by Bruce Andrews, Charles Bernstein, Ray
DiPalma, Steve McCaffery, and Ron Silliman, the work was composed
on typewriters and developed through the mail. The twenty-six poems
of the volume bring together every possible permutation of
collaborative authorship in one-, two-, three-, and five-author
combinations, revealing the evolution of distinctive styles against
and in conversation with others. Along with a complete reproduction
of the original text, LEGEND: The Complete Facsimile in Context
includes a critical introduction by editors Matthew Hofer and
Michael Golston, a generous selection of material from the authors'
correspondence, and a new collaborative piece by the authors. This
book will be an essential resource to students and scholars in
twentieth-century poetry and poetics.

In this selection of shorter lyric poems, celebrated Language poet
Bruce Andrews offers his charismatic blend of satire, wit and
jouissance, creating a dizzying picture of modern America. In these
poems Andrews explores a more intimate and domestic register,
further reminding us of the astonishing range of this contemporary
master.
"Ok murky in alter all end, unpredictable day, with rainshine any
degree night, the sun kin warm and hot. Enough stone or other jugs
lineup of whatever is In Through Out That's light as much as known
Differences evanesce Like, where and/or what on the equator might
be french or spanish Longitude and latitude, yep yep sure
Americana."--Larry Eigner, commentary on a selection from Ger-trude
Stein's "Tender Buttons"
This selection of essays and poetry from the first three volumes of
L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E magazine dis-cusses a "spectrum of writing that
places its attention primarily on language and ways of making
meaning, that takes for granted neither vocabulary, grammar,
process, shape, syntax, program, nor sub-ject matter." (Bernstein
and Andrews) The various writers shun labels, slogans, or
catch-phrases; their exploration of the ways that meanings and
values are re-vealed through the written word is in-tended to open
the field of poetic activity, not close it.
The common thread of these essays is the multitude and scope of
words' refer-ential powers--denotative, connotative, and
associational; and studying these powers is ultimately a social and
political activity as well as an aesthetic one.
