Treffer: Mastering Python Data Analysis

About This BookClean, format, and explore data using graphical and numerical summariesLeverage the IPython environment to efficiently analyze data with PythonPacked with easy-to-follow examples to develop advanced computational skills for the analysis of complex dataWho This Book Is ForIf you are a competent Python developer who wants to take your data analysis skills to the next level by solving complex problems, then this advanced guide is for you. Familiarity with the basics of applying Python libraries to data sets is assumed.What You Will LearnRead, sort, and map various data into Python and PandasRecognize patterns so you can understand and explore dataUse statistical models to discover patterns in dataReview classical statistical inference using Python, Pandas, and SciPyDetect similarities and differences in data with clusteringClean your data to make it usefulWork with Jupyter Notebook to produce publication-ready figures to be included in reportsIn DetailPython, a multi-paradigm programming language, has become the language of choice for data scientists for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning. Have you ever wondered how to become an expert at effectively approaching data analysis problems, solving them, and extracting all of the available information from your data? Well, look no further, this is the book you want!Through this comprehensive guide, you will explore data and present results and conclusions from statistical analysis in a meaningful way. You'll start off by learning about the tools available for data analysis in Python and will then explore the statistical models that are used to identify patterns in data. Gradually, you'll move on to reviewing statistical inference using Python, Pandas, and SciPy. After that, we'll focus on performing regression using computational tools and you'll understand the problem of identifying clusters in data in an algorithmic way. In the last chapters we delve into advanced techniques to quantify cause and effect using Bayesian methods and you'll discover how to use Python's tools for supervised and unsupervised machine learning. Finally, we show you how to perform Time Series analysis in Pandas and SciPy, that is, analyzing data that have been recorded over a certain time interval.
