Preface

Data science is a discipline at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and data mining with the objective of gaining new knowledge from existing data by means of algorithmic and statistical analysis. In this book, you will learn the seven most important ways in data science of analyzing the data. Each chapter first explains its algorithm or analysis as a simple concept, supported by a trivial example. Further examples and exercises are used to build and expand your knowledge of a particular type of analysis.
