In this 10th anniversary edition, updated with 50% new content for R 4.0.0 and beyond, Brett Lantz looks at what's needed for data pre-processing, uncovering key insights, making new predictions, and visualizing your findings. It features several new chapters that reflect the progress of machine learning in the last few years to help readers build their data science skills and tackle more challenging problems, including making successful machine learning models, advanced data preparation and making use of big data.

In this book, the Kodeco team show how to use Apple's software debugger, LLDB, to find bugs faster, and discuss how other developers have solved problems similar to yours. The book also covers how to create custom debugging scripts to find the secrets behind any bit of code that piques your interest.

This book guides the reader through designing, implementing, and harnessing a variety of graph data models using the popular open source Python libraries NetworkX and igraph. Gary Hutson and Matt Jackson provide practical use cases and examples to illustrate how to design optimal graph models capable of supporting a wide range of queries and features. In addition to showing how to manage a persistent graph database using Neo4j, the book also looks at adapting your network model to evolving data requirements.

This book offers a firm grounding in the fundamentals of database while at the same time providing a wide-ranging survey of database subfields relevant to information systems professionals. In the newly revised third edition, Dr. Mark Gillenson delivers an authoritative and comprehensive account of contemporary database management. 

This book takes the design and analyses of algorithms to the level of predictable practical efficiency, discussing core and classic algorithmic problems that arise in the development of big data applications, and presenting elegant solutions of increasing sophistication and efficiency. Paolo Ferragina analyzes solutions within the classic RAM model, and the more practically significant external-memory model that allows one to perform I/O-complexity evaluations.

This guide to the recording software favored by Mac users helps readers bypass the time needed to search for tech answers and spend more time capturing sounds.
