Data Science Handbook

This desk reference handbook provides a hands-on experience with various algorithms and popular techniques used in real-time data science for researchers working in diverse domains.

Data Science is a leading research-driven area in the modern era, playing a crucial role in healthcare, engineering, education, mechatronics, and medical robotics. Building models and working with data is not value-neutral. We choose the problems we address, make assumptions in these models, and decide on metrics and algorithms for them. The data scientist identifies the problems that can be solved with data and uses expert tools of modelling and coding.

The book begins with introductory concepts in data science such as data munging, data preparation, and transforming data. Chapter 2 discusses data visualisation, drawing various plots and histograms. Chapter 3 covers mathematics and statistics for data science. Chapter 4 focuses on machine learning algorithms in data science. Chapter 5 comprises outlier analysis and the DBSCAN algorithm. Chapter 6 focuses on clustering. Chapter 7 discusses network analysis. Chapter 8 mainly addresses regression and the naive-Bayes classifier. Chapter 9 covers web-based data visualisations with Plotly. Chapter 10 discusses web scraping.

The book concludes with a section discussing 19 projects on various subjects within data science.

Audience

The handbook is intended for use by graduate students, research scholars in computer science and electrical engineering, and industry professionals across a range of industries such as healthcare.
