This book describes, simply and in general terms, the process of
analyzing data. The authors have extensive experience both managing
data analysts and conducting their own data analyses, and have
carefully observed what produces coherent results and what fails to
produce useful insights into data. This book is a distillation of
their experience in a format that is applicable to both
practitioners and managers in data science.
