Rezensionen

"This 430-page book contains an excellent collection of information on the subject of practical algorithms used in data science. The discussion of each algorithm starts with some basic concepts, followed by a tutorial with real datasets and detailed code examples in Python or R. Each chapter has a set of exercise problems so readers can practice the concepts learned in the chapter. ... a good reference for practitioners, or a good textbook for graduate or upper-class undergraduate students." (Xiannong Meng, Computing Reviews, September, 2017)

"This textbook on practical data analytics unites fundamental principles, algorithms, and data. ... this book is devoted to upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It is intended for a one- or two-semester course in data analytics and reflects the authors' research experience in data science concepts and the teaching skills in various areas. ... The text is eminently suitable for self-study and an exceptional resource for practitioners." (Krzysztof J. Szajowski, zbMATH 1367.62005, 2017)
