Book Description

This is a textbook on data analysis methods, intended for advance undergraduate students who have already taken classes in probability, mathematical statistics, and linear regression. It began as the lecture notes for 36-402 at Carnegie Mellon University.

Every subject covered here can be profitably studied using vastly more sophisticated techniques; that's why this is advanced data analysis from an elementary point of view.

The book also presumes that you can read and write simple functions in R. If you are lacking in any of these areas, this book is not really for you, at least not now

• Data Mining and Analysis: Fundamental Concepts and Algorithms

  This textbook provides a broad yet in-depth overview of data mining, integrating related concepts from machine learning and statistics. The main parts of the book include exploratory data analysis, pattern mining, clustering, and classification.

• A Programmer's Guide to Data Mining (Ron Zacharski)

  This book is a tool for learning basic data mining techniques. If you are a programmer interested in learning a bit about data mining you might be interested in a beginner's hands-on guide as a first step. That's what this book provides.

• Kafka: The Definitive Guide: Real-Time Data and Stream Processing

  Through detailed examples, you'll learn Kafka's design principles, reliability guarantees, key APIs, and architecture details, including the replication protocol, the controller, and the storage layer.

• Making Sense of Stream Processing: Behind Apache Kafka

  This book shows you how stream processing can make your data storage and processing systems more flexible and less complex. It explains how these projects can help you reorient your database architecture around streams and materialized views.

• Hands-On Data Visualization: From Spreadsheets to Code

  This book takes you step-by-step through tutorials, real-world examples, and online resources. This practical guide is ideal for anyone who wants to take data out of spreadsheets and turn it into lively interactive stories.

• Fundamentals of Data Visualization: Informative Figures

  This book takes you through many commonly encountered visualization problems, and it provides guidelines on how to turn large datasets into clear and compelling figures, teaches you the elements most critical to successful data visualization.

• Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction (Kieran Healy)

  It provides students and researchers a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of data visualization. It explains what makes some graphs succeed while others fail, how to make high-quality figures from data using powerful and reproducible methods.

• Scientific Visualisation: Python and Matplotlib (Nicolas P. Rougier)

  Matplotlib provides a large library of customizable plots, along with a comprehensive set of backends. Through practical, hands-on and straightforward examples, the book guides you through Data Visualization and Exploration using Python and Matplotlib.

• Mining of Massive Datasets (Jure Leskovec, et al)

  It focuses on practical algorithms that have been used to solve key problems in data mining and can be applied successfully to the largest datasets. It begins with a discussion of the map-reduce framework, an important tool for parallelizing algorithms automatically.

• Spectral Feature Selection for Data Mining (Zheng A. Zhao, et al.)

  This book introduces a novel feature selection technique that establishes a general platform for studying existing feature selection algorithms and developing new algorithms for emerging problems in real-world applications.

• Forecasting: Principles and Practice (Rob J. Hyndman, et al.)

  This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to forecasting methods and presents enough information about each method for readers to use them sensibly. Examples use R with many data sets taken from the authors' own consulting experience.

• Bayesian Data Analysis (Andrew Gelman, et al.)

  This classic book is widely considered the leading text on Bayesian methods, lauded for its accessible, practical approach to analyzing data and solving research problems. It takes an applied approach to analysis using up-to-date Bayesian methods.

• The Promise and Peril of Big Data (David Bollier)

  This book explores the positive aspects and the social perils that arise when the ever-rising floods of data being generated by mobile networking, cloud computing and other new technologies meets continued innovations in advanced correlation techniques.
