Data Science and Big Data Analytics: Discovering, Analyzing, Visualizing and Presenting Data

Excellent book for completing the Data Science and Big Data Analytics Dell EMC Proven Professional Course. It is an excellent reference for any Data Analytics project

Great book. I purchased to study for the Dell EMC DECA-DS certification, formerly “EMCDSA”. The book uses mostly R code examples which are great and understandable, but it did require me learning a little bit of R to fully comprehend. I come from a Python background and would have preferred more Python examples. There is very little Python based examples, mostly just for text mining. The book does get into Hadoop and related tools, but really at more of a theoretical level or basic overview.

This is a pretty decent book that covers a broad spectrum of topics including the the analytics life cycle, a brief but concise intro to R, to covering most of the advanced methods for analysis (k-means, linear regression, Naive Bayes, etc). It doesn't shy away from the math - but doesn't overwhelm either and, for the most part, is a fairly easy read. It should be treated as a reference and as a guide for the EMCDSA (EMC Data Science Associate) certification. There are probably better books for those just wading into data science but definitely worth adding to your library. For those who are complaining about no companion code examples it was an easy download from the Wiley website.

One of the best entry level books on big data analytics.

Good but this stuff gets depricated so quickly unless this books gets updated every six months it is better to follow online courses and material. Most basic stuff of course still holds but rest is outdated.

I bought the book as soon as it was published. At that time I was working on a Documentum project ( an EMC software) and I was struggling with their documentation. I hoped that the book will much better , but not the case. Nevertheless, I started reading it and of course I wanted to test the code, some of the data sets were the ones in R, so it was easy to replicate, But for the others I checked the web site of the publisher and what a surprise....they aren't no where to find. I wrote to EMC, but they were no in mood to provide them. They were on the opinion that it will be provided only to associated something.... On my opinion a tech book without code and in this case no data sets is just useless. So I just left the book on my book shelf. A year later I just checked the book here and what a surprise you have the code and the data sets! Good! Let's check them. This year I going to teach R and I really hope that the book will be much helpful for my students.

This book is a great one. I found it easy to read.

It is a great book. If you are new in data science this book is a 'must have'.

Imprescindible para profesionales que quieren conocer los detalles del Big Data y el análisis científico de los Datos. Tiene bastante detalle para los lectores más exigentes.

Excelente libro Entrega a tiempo

Concepts are very well articulated with supporting theoretical, practical and visual interpretations. Examples provided are in R. A must read for a Data Scientist Beginner - it clears all the concepts which otherwise one may struggle to find elsewhere.

Suppose that you have two or three degrees in Statistics or maybe not even one. One way or another you know R and SAS. You also know Matlab and Excel. But what you really know is theory, and that's what got you your credentials. If you want to know what Data Science is all about, and you want to be able to pin down that catch phrase Big Data in terms of what you may already know, then this is the book for you. Written by a professional team from EMC Corporation this book outlines and fulfills the topics necessary to obtain the Professional Data Scientist certification. Whether you actually want this certification or not this book will deliver the most accurate depiction of what the field of Data Science is all about. In short it will tell you what you already know and can use as well as what you need to learn.

The book was in excellent condition and arrived on expected date
