Leverage the power of Python and statistical modeling techniques for building accurate predictive models Key Features Get introduced to Python's rich suite of libraries for statistical modeling Implement regression, clustering and train neural networks from scratch Includes real-world examples on training end-to-end machine learning systems in Python Book DescriptionPython's ease of use and multi-purpose nature has led it to become the choice of tool for many data scientists and machine learning developers today. Its rich libraries are widely used for data analysis, and more importantly, for building state-of-the-art predictive models. This book takes you through an exciting journey, of using these libraries to implement effective statistical models for predictive analytics. You'll start by diving into classical statistical analysis, where you will learn to compute descriptive statistics using pandas. You will look at supervised learning, where you will explore the principles of machine learning and train different machine learning models from scratch. You will also work with binary prediction models, such as data classification using k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, and random forests. This book also covers algorithms for regression analysis, such as ridge and lasso regression, and their implementation in Python. You will also learn how neural networks can be trained and deployed for more accurate predictions, and which Python libraries can be used to implement them. By the end of this book, you will have all the knowledge you need to design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade statistical models for machine learning using Python and its rich ecosystem of libraries for predictive analytics. What you will learn Understand the importance of statistical modeling Learn about the various Python packages for statistical analysis Implement algorithms such as Naive Bayes, random forests, and more Build predictive models from scratch using Python's scikit-learn library Implement regression analysis and clustering Learn how to train a neural network in Python Who this book is forIf you are a data scientist, a statistician or a machine learning developer looking to train and deploy effective machine learning models using popular statistical techniques, then this book is for you. Knowledge of Python programming is required to get the most out of this book.
Get to grips with the most popular Python packages that make data analysis possible Key Features Explore the tools you need to become a data analyst Discover practical examples to help you grasp data processing concepts Walk through hierarchical indexing and grouping for data analysis Book DescriptionPython, a multi-paradigm programming language, has become the language of choice for data scientists for visualization, data analysis, and machine learning. Hands-On Data Analysis with NumPy and Pandas starts by guiding you in setting up the right environment for data analysis with Python, along with helping you install the correct Python distribution. In addition to this, you will work with the Jupyter notebook and set up a database. Once you have covered Jupyter, you will dig deep into Python's NumPy package, a powerful extension with advanced mathematical functions. You will then move on to creating NumPy arrays and employing different array methods and functions. You will explore Python's pandas extension which will help you get to grips with data mining and learn to subset your data. Last but not the least you will grasp how to manage your datasets by sorting and ranking them. By the end of this book, you will have learned to index and group your data for sophisticated data analysis and manipulation. What you will learn Understand how to install and manage Anaconda Read, sort, and map data using NumPy and pandas Find out how to create and slice data arrays using NumPy Discover how to subset your DataFrames using pandas Handle missing data in a pandas DataFrame Explore hierarchical indexing and plotting with pandas Who this book is forHands-On Data Analysis with NumPy and Pandas is for you if you are a Python developer and want to take your first steps into the world of data analysis. No previous experience of data analysis is required to enjoy this book.
