Modern Data Science with R (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Modern Data Science with R (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

From a review of the first edition: Modern Data Science with R is rich with examples and is guided by a strong narrative voice. Whats more, it presents an organizing framework that makes a convincing argument that data science is a course distinct from applied statistics (The American Statistician).

Modern Data Science with R is a comprehensive data science textbook for undergraduates that incorporates statistical and computational thinking to solve real-world data problems. Rather than focus exclusively on case studies or programming syntax, this book illustrates how statistical programming in the state-of-the-art R/RStudio computing environment can be leveraged to extract meaningful information from a variety of data in the service of addressing compelling questions.

The second edition is updated to reflect the growing influence of the tidyverse set of packages. All code in the book has been revised and styled to be more readable and easier to understand. New functionality from packages like sf, purrr, tidymodels, and tidytext is now integrated into the text. All chapters have been revised, and several have been split, re-organized, or re-imagined to meet the shifting landscape of best practice.

Danny received the 2006 Macalester Excellence in Teaching award and the 2017 CAUSE Lifetime Achievement Award.

Nicholas J. Horton is the Beitzel Professor of Technology and Society (Statistics and Data Science) at Amherst College. He is a Fellow of the ASA and the AAAS, co-chair of the National Academies Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics, recipient of a number of national teaching awards, author of a series of books on statistical computing, and actively involved in data science curriculum efforts to help students think with data.

Background and motivation

The increasing volume and sophistication of data poses new challenges for analysts, who need to be able to transform complex data sets to answer important statistical questions. A consensus report on data science for undergraduates (National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018) noted that data science is revolutionizing science and the workplace. They defined a data scientist as a knowledge worker who is principally occupied with analyzing complex and massive data resources.

Michael I. Jordan has described data science as the marriage of computational thinking and inferential (statistical) thinking. Without the skills to be able to wrangle or marshal the increasingly rich and complex data that surround us, analysts will not be able to use these data to make better decisions.

Demand is strong for graduates with these skills. According to the company ratings site Glassdoor, data scientist was the best job in America every year from 20162019 (Columbus, 2019).

New data technologies make it possible to extract data from more sources than ever before. Streamlined data processing libraries enable data scientists to express how to restructure those data into a form suitable for analysis. Database systems facilitate the storage and retrieval of ever-larger collections of data. State-of-the-art workflow tools foster well-documented and reproducible analysis. Modern statistical and machine learning methods allow the analyst to fit and assess models as well as to undertake supervised or unsupervised learning to glean information about the underlying real-world phenomena. Contemporary data science requires tight integration of these statistical, computing, data-related, and communication skills.

Intended audience

This book is intended for readers who want to develop the appropriate skills to tackle complex data science projects and think with data (as coined by Diane Lambert of Google). The desire to solve problems using data is at the heart of our approach.

We acknowledge that it is impossible to cover all these topics in any level of detail within a single book: Many of the chapters could productively form the basis for a course or series of courses. Instead, our goal is to lay a foundation for analysis of real-world data and to ensure that analysts see the power of statistics and data analysis. After reading this book, readers will have greatly expanded their skill set for working with these data, and should have a newfound confidence about their ability to learn new technologies on-the-fly.
