Book Description
Learn to effectively manage data and execute data science projects from start to finish using Python
Key Features
Understand and utilize data science tools in Python,such as specialized machine learning algorithms and statistical modeling
Build a strong data science foundation with the best data science tools available in Python
Add value to yourself,your organization,and society Author: extracting actionable insights from raw data
Practical Data Science with Python teaches you core data science concepts,with real-world and realistic examples,and strengthens your grip on the basic as well as advanced principles of data preparation and storage,statistics,probability theory,machine learning,and Python programming,helping you build a solid foundation to gain proficiency in data science.
The book starts with an overview of basic Python skills and then introduces foundational data science techniques,followed Author: a thorough explanation of the Python code needed to execute the techniques. You’ll understand the code Author: working through the examples. The code has been broken down into small chunks (a few lines or a function at a time) to enable thorough discussion.
As you progress,you will learn how to perform data analysis while exploring the functionalities of key data science Python packages,including pandas,SciPy,and scikit-learn. Finally,the book covers ethics and privacy concerns in data science and suggests resources for improving data science skills,as well as ways to stay up to date on new data science developments.
Author: the end of the book,you should be able to comfortably use Python for basic data science projects and should have the skills to execute the data science process on any data source.
