Data Science Concepts and Techniques with Applications: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Data Science Concepts and Techniques with Applications" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book comprehensively covers the topic of data science. Data science is an umbrella term that encompasses data analytics, data mining, machine learning, and several other related disciplines. This book synthesizes both fundamental and advanced topics of a research area that has now reached maturity. The chapters of this book are organized into three sections:
  • The first section is an introduction to data science. Starting from the basic concepts, the book will highlight the types of data, its use, its importance and issues that are normally faced in data analytics. Followed by discussion on wide range of applications of data science and widely used techniques in data science.
  • The second section is devoted to the tools and techniques of data science. It consists of data pre-processing, feature selection, classification and clustering concepts as well as an introduction to text mining and opining mining.
  • And finally, the third section of the book focuses on two programming languages commonly used for data science projects i.e. Python and R programming language.
Although this book primarily serves as a textbook, it will also appeal to industrial practitioners and researchers due to its focus on applications and references. The book is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as those carrying out research in data science. It can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students in computer science, engineering and mathematics. It can also be accessible to undergraduate students from other areas with the adequate background. The more advanced chapters can be used by postgraduate researchers intending to gather a deeper theoretical understanding.

Preface

As this book is about data science, the first question it immediately begs is: What is data science? It is a surprisingly hard definition to nail down. However, for us, data science is perhaps the best label for the cross-disciplinary set of skills that are becoming increasingly important in many applications across industry and academia. It comprises three distinct and overlapping areas: firstly, statistician who knows how to model and summarize the data, data scientist who can design and use algorithms to efficiently process and visualize the data, and finally the domain expert who will formulate the right questions and put the answers in context. With this in mind, we would encourage all to think of data science not as a new domain of knowledge to learn, but a new set of skills that you can apply within your current area of expertise.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part consists of the first three chapters. In Chap. introduces widely used techniques for data analytics. Prior to the discussion of common data analytics techniques, firstly we will try to explain three types of learning to which the majority of the data analytics algorithms will fall under.

The second part is composed of Chaps. introduces text mining as well as opining mining.

And finally, the third part of the book is composed of Chap. which focuses on two programming languages commonly used for data science projects, i.e. Python and R programming language.

Data science is an umbrella term that encompasses data analytics, data mining, machine learning, and several other related disciplines, so contents have been devised keeping in mind this perspective. An attempt is made to keep the book as self-contained as possible. The book is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as those carrying out research in data science. It can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. It can also be accessible to undergraduate students from other areas with the adequate background. The more advanced chapters can be used by postgraduate researchers intending to gather a deeper theoretical understanding.

In this chapter we will discuss the data analytics process. Starting from the basic concepts, we will highlight the types of data, its use, its importance, and issues that are normally faced in data analytics. Efforts have been made to present the concepts in most simple possible way, as conceptual clarity before studying the advance concepts of data science and related techniques is very much necessary.

1.1 Data

Data is an essential need in all domains of life. From research community to business markets data is always required for analysis and decision-making purpose. However, the emerging developments in technology of data storage, processing, and transmission have changed the entire scenario. Now bulk of data is produced on daily basis. Whenever, you type a message, upload a picture, browse a web, type a social media message, you are producing data which is being stored somewhere and available online for processing. Just couple this with development of advance software applications and inexpensive hardware. With the emergence of the concepts like Internet of Things (IoT), where the focus is on connected data, the scenario has worsened the further. From writing something on paper to online distributed storages, data is everywhere.
