Data Science Design

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

Data science experts Foster Provost and Tom Fawcett, Data Science for Business introduces the fundamental principles of data science, and walks you through the "data-analytic thinking" necessary for extracting useful knowledge and business value from the data you collect. This guide also helps you understand the many data-mining techniques in use today. 

Data projects are an intrinsic part of an organization's technical ecosystem, but data engineers in many companies continue to work on problems that others have already solved. This hands-on guide shows you how to provide valuable data by focusing on various aspects of data engineering, including data ingestion, data quality, idempotency, and more.

Businesses own more data than ever before, but it's of no value if you don't know how to use it. Data governance manages the people, processes, and strategy needed for deploying data projects to production. But doing it well is far from easy: Less than one fourth of business leaders say their organizations are data driven. In Designing Data Governance from the Ground Up, you'll build a cross-functional strategy to create roadmaps and stewardship for data-focused projects, embed data governance into your engineering practice, and put processes in place to monitor data after deployment.

I am pleased to provide you with my third book in this series covering Microsoft Azure Data Scientist Associate DP-100 exam. All the questions in the book were created by me when I was preparing for this exam. After I took and passed the exam, I went back and updated the books with some additional areas that I had missed and updated the exam tips on topics that I think will be useful when you take this exam.

Operational architecture for long-lived data systems. Modern data systems rarely fail because of broken code. They fail because architectural intent erodes under time, pressure, and continuous change. Operating Modern Data Systems is a deep, architecture-first examination of what happens after systems leave the whiteboard and enter production. It reframes operations as an architectural discipline—where guarantees are defended or lost, authority is exercised under stress, and reliability is proven over years rather than releases. This book is not about tools, dashboards, or incident ...

It has never been easier for organizations to gather, store, and process data. Use of data science is driven by the rise of big data and social media, the development of high-performance computing, and the emergence of such powerful methods for data analysis and modeling as deep learning. Data science encompasses a set of principles, problem definitions, algorithms, and processes for extracting non-obvious and useful patterns from large datasets.
