Transform your data into insights with essential techniques and math to unravel the secrets hidden within your dataKey Features​Learn practical data science combined with data theory to gain maximum insight from data​See how to deploy actionable machine learning pipelines while mitigating biases in data and models​Explore actionable case studies and see how to put your new skills to use, fast!Book Description"Principles of Data Science" bridges mathematics, programming, and business analysis, empowering readers to confidently pose and address complex data questions and construct effective machine learning pipelines. It equips you with tools to transform abstract concepts and raw statistics into actionable insights.

Beginning with cleaning and preparing data + effective data mining strategies and techniques, you'll move on to build a comprehensive picture of how every piece of the data science puzzle fits together. Discover the statistical models that help you take control and navigate even the densest (or the sparsest) datasets and find out how to create powerful visualizations that communicate the stories your data are telling.

In this edition, you will also learn advanced transfer learning and pre-trained models for NLP and vision tasks, with a focus on application. Advanced techniques for mitigating algorithmic bias in data and models are covered, along with addressing model and data drift.

Finally, you will explore medium-level data governance including data provenance, privacy, and deletion request handling. By the end of the book, you'll learn the fundamentals of computational mathematics and statistics while exploring modern machine learning and large pre-trained models like GPT and BERT.
