Book Description

For many researchers, Python is a first-class tool mainly because of its libraries for storing, manipulating, and gaining insight from data. Several resources exist for individual pieces of this data science stack, but only with the Python Data Science Handbook do you get them all - IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and other related tools.

Working scientists and data crunchers familiar with reading and writing Python code will find this comprehensive desk reference ideal for tackling day-to-day issues: manipulating, transforming, and cleaning data; visualizing different types of data; and using data to build statistical or machine learning models. Quite simply, this is the must-have reference for scientific computing in Python.

• IPython and Jupyter: provide computational environments for data scientists using Python
• NumPy: includes the ndarray for efficient storage and manipulation of dense data arrays in Python
• Pandas: features the DataFrame for efficient storage and manipulation of labeled/columnar data in Python
• Matplotlib: includes capabilities for a flexible range of data visualizations in Python
• Scikit-Learn: for efficient and clean Python implementations of the most important and established machine learning algorithms
• Use statistical inference to answer questions about real-world data

• Jake VanderPlas is a long-time user and developer of the Python scientific stack. He currently works as an interdisciplinary research director at the University of Washington, conducts his own astronomy research, and spends time advising and consulting with local scientists from a wide range of fields.

• Python for Everybody: Exploring Data in Python 3

  This book is designed to introduce students to programming and software development through the lens of exploring data. You can think of the Python programming language as your tool to solve data problems that are beyond the capability of a spreadsheet.

• Think Stats, 2nd Edition: Exploratory Data Analysis in Python

  This concise introduction shows you how to perform statistical analysis computationally, rather than mathematically, with programs written in Python.

• Elements of Data Science using Python (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to data science for people with no programming experience. The goal is to present a small, powerful subset of Python that allows you to do real work in data science as quickly as possible.

• Mining Social Media using Python: Finding Stories in Data

  This book shows you how to use Python and key data analysis tools to find the stories buried in social media. Perform advanced data analysis using Python, Jupyter Notebooks, and the pandas library.

• Introduction to Probability for Data Science (Stanley Chan)

  This book is an introductory textbook in undergraduate probability in the context of data science to emphasize the inseparability between data (computing) and probability (theory) in our time, with examples in both MATLAB and Python.

• Data Science at the Command Line, 2nd Ed. (Jeroen Janssens)

  This hands-on guide demonstrates how the flexibility of the command line can help you become a more efficient and productive data scientist. Learn how to combine small, yet powerful, command-line tools to quickly obtain, scrub, explore, and model your data.

• Data Engineering Cookbook: The Plumbing of Data Science

  This is a practical and comprehensive guide. You will learn the basics of data engineering. Then you will learn the technologies and frameworks required to build data pipelines to work with large datasets.

• Computational and Inferential: The Foundations of Data Science

  Step by step, you'll learn how to leverage algorithmic thinking and the power of code, gain intuition about the power and limitations of current machine learning methods, and effectively apply them to real business problems.

• Data Science: Theories, Models, Algorithms, and Analytics

  It provides a bucket full of information regarding Data Science, covers a wide variety of sections by giving access to theories, data science algorithms, tools and analytics. You'll explore the right approach to best practices to guide you along the way.

• The Data Engineer's Guide to Apache Spark (Databricks)

  This book is for data engineers looking to leverage the immense growth of Apache Spark to build faster and more reliable data pipelines. It leverages Spark's amazing speed, scalability, simplicity, and versatility to build practical Big Data solutions.

• R for Data Science: Visualize, Model, Transform, Tidy, Import

  This book teaches you how to do data science with R: You'll learn how to get your data into R, get it into the most useful structure, transform it, visualize it and model it, how data science can help you work with the uncertainty and capture the opportunities.
