Getting Started with Data Science (Paperback)  | Released: Mar,2016

Getting Started with Data Science takes its approach from worldwide best-sellers like Freakonomics and the books of Malcolm Gladwell: it teaches through a powerful narrative packed with unforgettable stories. The book covers basic theory and technique, backed with plenty of clear, jargon-free examples and practice opportunities. Everything's software and platform independent, so students can learn what they need whether they work with R, Stata, SPSS, SAS, or another toolset.
