Introduction

This book amalgamates data science and software engineering in a pragmatic manner. It guides the reader through topics from these worlds and exemplifies concepts through software. As a reader, you will gain insight into areas rarely covered in textbooks, since they are hard to explain and illustrate. You will see the Cynefin framework in action via examples that give an overarching context and systematic approach for your data science endeavors.

The book also introduces you to the most useful Python 3 data science frameworks and tools: Numpy, Pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib, Seaborn, Dask, Apache Spark, PyTorch, and other auxiliary frameworks. All examples are self-contained and allow you to reproduce every piece of content from the book, including graphs. The exercises at the end of each chapter advise you how to further deepen your knowledge.

Finally, the book explains, again using lots of examples, all phases of a data science life cycle model: from project initiation to data exploration and retrospection. The aim is to equip you with necessary comprehension pertaining to major areas of data science so that you may see the forest for the trees .

1. Introduction to Data Science
Ervin Varga

Kikinda, Serbia

Let me start by making an analogy between software engineering and data science. Software engineering may be summarized as the application of engineering principles and methods to the development of software. The aim is to produce a dependable software product. In a similar vein, data science may be described as the application of scientific principles and methods to data collection, analysis, and reporting. The goal is to synthesize reliable and actionable insights from data (sometimes referred as data product). To continue with our analogy, the systems/software development life cycle (SDLC) prescribes the major phases of a software development process: project initiation, requirements engineering, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The data science process also encompasses multiple phases: project initiation, data acquisition, data preparation, data analysis, reporting, and execution of actions (another phase is data exploration, which is more of an all-embracing activity than a stand-alone phase). As in software development, these phases are quite interwoven, and the process is inherently iterative and incremental. An overarching activity that is indispensable in both software engineering and data science (and any other iterative and incremental endeavor) is
