    A Non-Serious Attempt to Teach Data Science & R
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020*

For a hobbyist, this book would be sufficient for the study of data science and of R.  Theory underlying techniques is minimal or nonexistent. (For logistic regression, no mathematical equation is given for the model.) This could work for a light introduction to the techniques themselves, but the book relies on R to present the models, and this is the source of my biggest gripe. The R coding is lengthy and inefficient. If you’re going to teach R, teach how to code as efficiently as possible. There’s a difference between presenting things simply to introduce a newcomer and teaching inefficient use of methods. This flaw seems to be true of other Manning books also. There are genuine textbooks on data science/machine learning/data mining/statistical learning  (Murphy 2012, Nov. 2020;  Kelleher, MacNamee, & D’Arcy 2015, 2020;  Koller & Friedman 2009;  MacKay 2003; Theodorodis 2015, 2020; Barber 2012; Aggarwal 2015; James, Witten, Hastie, & Tibshirani 2013, 2017 and Hastie, Tibshirani, & Friedman 2016; Bishop 2006). Each has its own particular emphasis—e.g., graphical models, Bayesian, optimization, and the activity classification (ML, data analysis, data mining, statistical learning) varies. WRT R are Knox (2018), Ghatak (2017), Shmueli et al. (2017, a lot of typos & the data mining is presented at a very low level), and Baumer, Kaplan, & Horton (2017). Andy Field’s “Discovering Statistics Using R” (2012) provides excellent walk-throughs of R used to solve basic statistical problem types; James et al. (2017) employs R in the authors’ ‘statistical learning’; Gelman & Hill (2006) and Fox (2015) both present R used to solve regression models (Fox’s text has a workbook using R).

    "The" book to have if you want to be a data scientist and working with R
  

*by I***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019*

Hands-on textbook that covers pretty much all aspects of data science (with keen attention to business demands). Importantly, it doesn't shy away from discussing statistical details behind the most common routines in machine learning, which I really appreciated as I was tired of typical DS books that take a black box approach that just shows "how" without explaining the "why". I think it's worth having a copy of this book irrespective of whether you are a beginner to data science or a veteran. Highly recommended!If you buy a hard copy, I would also recommend having a look at the colorful figures in the companion soft copy of the book.

    Practical Data Science is a fun interesting book
  

*by C***X on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014*

Practical Data Science is a fun interesting book..  There are parts that lost me.... like watching a ball under the three shells kind of thing... but--  the 70% of the book that I DID get is remarkable.  I learned many things that I will put to use.  Well worth the price of the book.  For example--  I loved the lookup vectors to change values..  very interesting graphs.  This book does not waste your time.  Hopefully soon I can grasp everything.  Good job.  I recommend for all R users.  I love that the examples are about real business situations and not plant life.
