Data Science and Machine Learning: From Data to Knowledge

Extracting knowledge from information through data analysis: the data scientist has been called the most attractive profession of the 21st century. Analyze the relationships between data, discover new information and, thanks to machine learning, exploit the immense potential hidden in it by building predictive models. In this book, we illustrate methods to analyze and manipulate data, and Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms to predict information, moving from theoretical knowledge to practical applications with statistical software R, through extensive practical examples What you will learn Mathematics and algebra for machine learning Statistics and probability for data science Use of the statistical software R and R-Studio Data preparation and feature engineering Design and validate machine learning algorithms Regression, classification and clustering algorithms Making predictions based on time series The models of neural networks and deep learning Data visualization & data storytelling Who this book is for This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to manipulate and analyze data by drawing new knowledge from it. If you are an IT manager or an analyst who wants to enter the world of Data Science and Big Data, if you are a developer who wants to know the new trends in the field of Artificial Intelligence or you are simply curious about this world, then this book is for you.
