Data Science Bookcamp

Learn data science with Python by building five real-world projects! Experiment with card game predictions, tracking disease outbreaks, and more, as you build a flexible and intuitive understanding of data science.

In Data Science Bookcamp, you will learn:

• Techniques for computing and plotting probabilities
• Statistical analysis using Scipy
• Web scraping
• How to organize datasets with clustering algorithms
• How to visualize complex multi-variable datasets
• How to train a decision tree machine learning algorithm

In Data Science Bookcamp, you’ll test and build your knowledge of Python with the kind of open-ended problems that professional data scientists work on every day. Downloadable data sets and thoroughly-explained solutions help you lock in what you’ve learned, building your confidence and making you ready for an exciting new data science career. About the Technology

A data science project has a lot of moving parts, and it takes practice and skill to get all the code, algorithms, datasets, formats, and visualizations working together harmoniously. This unique audiobook guides you through five realistic projects, including tracking disease outbreaks from news headlines, analyzing social networks, and finding relevant patterns in ad click data.

About the Audiobook

Data Science Bookcamp doesn’t stop with surface-level theory and toy examples. As you work through each project, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot common problems like missing data, messy data, and algorithms that don’t quite fit the model you’re building. You’ll appreciate the detailed setup instructions and the fully explained solutions that highlight common failure points.

For listeners who know the basics of Python. No prior data science or machine learning skills required. About the Author
