David Hoyle (Author)
David Hoyle has over 30 years’ experience in machine learning, statistics, and mathematical modelling. He gained a BSc. degree in mathematics and physics, and a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, both from the University of Bristol, UK. He then embarked on an academic career that included research at the University of Cambridge and leading his own research groups as an Associate Professor at the University of Exeter and the University of Manchester in the UK. For the last 13 years he has worked in the commercial sector, including for Lloyds Banking Group – one of the UK’s largest retail banks, and as joint Head of Data Science for AutoTrader UK. He now works for the global customer data science company dunnhumby, building statistical and machine learning models for the world's largest retailers, including Tesco UK and Walmart. He lives and works in Manchester, UK.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Create more effective and powerful data science solutions by learning when, where, and how to apply key math principles that drive most data science algorithmsKey FeaturesUnderstand key data science algorithms with Python-based examplesIncrease the impact of your data science solutions by learning how to apply existing algorithmsTake your data science solutions to the next level by learning how to create new algorithmsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionData science combines the power of data with the rigor of scientific methodology, with mathematics providing the tools and frameworks for analysis, algorithm development, and deriving insights. As machine learning algorithms become increasingly complex, a solid grounding in math is crucial for data scientists.

David Hoyle, with over 30 years of experience in statistical and mathematical modeling, brings unparalleled industrial expertise to this book, drawing from his work in building predictive models for the world's largest retailers. Encompassing 15 crucial concepts, this book covers a spectrum of mathematical techniques to help you understand a vast range of data science algorithms and applications.

Starting with essential foundational concepts, such as random variables and probability distributions, you’ll learn why data varies, and explore matrices and linear algebra to transform that data. Building upon this foundation, the book spans general intermediate concepts, such as model complexity and network analysis, as well as advanced concepts such as kernel-based learning and information theory.

Each concept is illustrated with Python code snippets demonstrating their practical application to solve problems. By the end of the book, you’ll have the confidence to apply key mathematical concepts to your data science challenges.
