Principles and Practice of Big Data: Preparing,Sharing,and Analyzing Complex Information
Principles and Practice of Big Data: Preparing,Sharing,and Analyzing Complex Information,Second Edition updates and expands on the first edition,bringing a set of techniques and algorithms that are tailored to Big Data projects. The book stresses the point that most data analyses conducted on large,complex data sets can be achieved without the use of specialized suites of software (e.g.,Hadoop),and without expensive hardware (e.g.,supercomputers). The core of every algorithm described in the book can be implemented in a few lines of code using just about any popular programming language (Python snippets are provided).
Through the use of new multiple examples,this edition demonstrates that if we understand our data,and if we know how to ask the right questions,we can learn a great deal from large and complex data collections. The book will assist students and professionals from all scientific backgrounds who are interested in stepping outside the traditional boundaries of their chosen academic disciplines.
Presents new methodologies that are widely applicable to just about any project involving large and complex datasets
Offers readers informative new case studies across a range scientific and engineering disciplines
Provides insights into semantics,identification,de-identification,vulnerabilities and regulatory/legal issues
Utilizes a combination of pseudocode and very short snippets of Python code to show readers how they may develop their own projects without downloading or learning new software
