Learn the fundamentals of data science with Python by analyzing real datasets and solving problems using pandas

Key Features

Learn how to apply data retrieval, transformation, visualization, and modeling techniques using pandasBecome highly efficient in unlocking deeper insights from your data, including databases, web data, and moreBuild your experience and confidence with hands-on exercises and activities

Book Description

The Pandas Workshop will teach you how to be more productive with data and generate real business insights to inform your decision-making. You will be guided through real-world data science problems and shown how to apply key techniques in the context of realistic examples and exercises. Engaging activities will then challenge you to apply your new skills in a way that prepares you for real data science projects.

You''ll see how experienced data scientists tackle a wide range of problems using data analysis with pandas. Unlike other Python books, which focus on theory and spend too long on dry, technical explanations, this workshop is designed to quickly get you to write clean code and build your understanding through hands-on practice. As you work through this Python pandas book, you''ll tackle various real-world scenarios, such as using an air quality dataset to understand the pattern of nitrogen dioxide emissions in a city, as well as analyzing transportation data to improve bus transportation services.

By the end of this data analytics book, you''ll have the knowledge, skills, and confidence you need to solve your own challenging data science problems with pandas.

What you will learn

Access and load data from different sources using pandasWork with a range of data types and structures to understand your dataPerform data transformation to prepare it for analysisUse Matplotlib for data visualization to create a variety of plotsCreate data models to find relationships and test hypothesesManipulate time-series data to perform date-time calculationsOptimize your code to ensure more efficient business data analysis

Who this book is for

This data analysis book is for anyone with prior experience working with the Python programming language who wants to learn the fundamentals of data analysis with pandas. Previous knowledge of pandas is not necessary.

With knowledge and information shared by experts, take your first steps towards creating scalable AI algorithms and solutions in Python, through practical exercises and engaging activitiesKey FeaturesLearn about AI and ML algorithms from the perspective of a seasoned data scientistGet practical experience in ML algorithms, such as regression, tree algorithms, clustering, and moreDesign neural networks that emulate the human brainBook DescriptionYou already know that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are present in many of the tools you use in your daily routine. But do you want to be able to create your own AI and ML models and develop your skills in these domains to kickstart your AI career?The Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop gets you started with applying AI with the help of practical exercises and useful examples, all put together cleverly to help you gain the skills to transform your career.The book begins by teaching you how to predict outcomes using regression. You will then learn how to classify data using techniques such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. As you progress, you’ll explore various decision trees by learning how to build a reliable decision tree model that can help your company find cars that clients are likely to buy. The final chapters will introduce you to deep learning and neural networks. Through various activities, such as predicting stock prices and recognizing handwritten digits, you’ll learn how to train and implement convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).By the end of this applied AI book, you’ll have learned how to predict outcomes and train neural networks and be able to use various techniques to develop AI and ML models.What you will learnCreate your first AI game in Python with the minmax algorithmImplement regression techniques to simplify real-world dataExperiment with classification techniques to label real-world dataPerform predictive analysis in Python using decision trees and random forestsUse clustering algorithms to group data without manual supportLearn how to use neural networks to process and classify labeled imagesWho this book is forThe Applied Artificial Intelligence Workshop is designed for software developers and data scientists who want to enrich their projects with machine learning. Although you do not need any prior experience in AI, it is recommended that you have knowledge of high school-level mathematics and at least one programming language, preferably Python. Although this is a beginner’s book, experienced students and programmers can improve their Python skills by implementing the practical applications given in this book.
