Collecting data is relatively easy, but turning raw information into something useful requires that you know how to extract precisely what you need. With this insightful book, intermediate to experienced programmers interested in data analysis will learn techniques for working with data in a business environment. You'll learn how to look at data to discover what it contains, how to capture those ideas in conceptual models, and then feed your understanding back into the organization through business plans, metrics dashboards, and other applications.

Along the way, you'll experiment with concepts through hands-on workshops at the end of each chapter. Above all, you'll learn how to think about the results you want to achieve -- rather than rely on tools to think for you.

  • Use graphics to describe data with one, two, or dozens of variables
  • Develop conceptual models using back-of-the-envelope calculations, as well asscaling and probability arguments
  • Mine data with computationally intensive methods such as simulation and clustering
  • Make your conclusions understandable through reports, dashboards, and other metrics programs
  • Understand financial calculations, including the time-value of money
  • Use dimensionality reduction techniques or predictive analytics to conquer challenging data analysis situations
  • Become familiar with different open source programming environments for data analysis

"Finally, a concise reference for understanding how to conquer piles of data."--Austin King, Senior Web Developer, Mozilla

"An indispensable text for aspiring data scientists."--Michael E. Driscoll, CEO/Founder, Dataspora

Good shoes for the buck
Size: 13, Color: Dark Brown
Great shoes (I wear them to work and church) and the pictures don’t do them justice. They look really good in person. Very comfortable and hold up nicely

Decent Work Shoe, But Stitching Flaw
Size: 9.5, Color: Black, Size: 9.5, Color: Black
I like these men's derby shoes for my husband, but I'm not too surprised they are flawed considering they are Amazon brand. Not to say anything bad about Amazon Essentials by any means, since they have great, affordable products available. However, they are obviously not the super expensive men's derby shoes that are out there. I'm grateful to have a lower cost option, hence me getting them, but there were some minor issues. The stitching on the ankle rear of the shoe was a bit off. They are also a thinner faux leather, not as sturdy as a more expensive material would be. For the cost, though, they are exactly what I needed. These will not be returned and will be used for a work event. No complaints from the husband about fit or comfort. And the color and style were as expected.

The shoes are incredible for the price. They are not the most confortable, but they look very elegant and fit perfectly. It adjusts rightly. I got 2 pairs. My brother has his feet wider than mine, and the shoes fit perfectly.

Looks nice but not comfortable
Size: 9.5, Color: Black
Look nice, fit well, but there is no cushion on the sole so feet hurt after wearing for even a short time.
