Scientific Data Analysis using Jython Scripting and Java presents practical approaches for data analysis using Java scripting based on Jython, a Java implementation of the Python language. The chapters essentially cover all aspects of data analysis, from arrays and histograms to clustering analysis, curve fitting, metadata and neural networks. A comprehensive coverage of data visualisation tools implemented in Java is also included.Written by the primary developer of the jHepWork data-analysis framework, the book provides a reliable and complete reference source laying the foundation for data-analysis applications using Java scripting. More than 250 code snippets (of around 10-20 lines each) written in Jython and Java, plus several real-life examples help the reader develop a genuine feeling for data analysis techniques and their programming implementation. This is the first data-analysis and data-mining book which is completely based on the Jython language, and opens doors to scripting using a fully multi-platform and multi-threaded approach. Graduate students and researchers will benefit from the information presented in this book.

Numericalcomputation, knowledge discovery and statistical data analysis integrated withpowerful 2D and 3D graphics for visualization are the key topics of this book. ThePython code examples powered by the Java platform can easily be transformed toother programming languages, such as Java, Groovy, Ruby and BeanShell. Thisbook equips the reader with acomputational platform which, unlike other statistical programs, is not limitedby a single programming language.The authorfocuses on practical programming aspects and covers a broad range of topics,from basic introduction to the Python language on the Java platform (Jython),to descriptive statistics, symbolic calculations, neural networks, non-linearregression analysis and many other data-mining topics. He discusses how to findregularities in real-world data, how to classify data, and how to process datafor knowledge discoveries. The code snippets are so short that they easily fit intosingle pages.Numeric Computation and Statistical DataAnalysis on the Java Platform is a great choice for those who want to learn how statisticaldata analysis can be done using popular programming languages, who want tointegrate data analysis algorithms in full-scale applications, and deploy suchcalculations on the web pages or computational servers regardlessof their operating system. It is an excellent reference for scientific computations to solvereal-world problems using a comprehensive stack of open-source Javalibraries included in the DataMelt (DMelt) project and will beappreciated by many data-analysis scientists, engineers and students.
