WILEY Data Smart: Using Data Science to Transform Information into Insight

parfait

Clear examples of ML code to use in Excel. If you need an intro to more complex algorithms to be used in R and Python, this is a great book to jump into.

There are great general books on Data Science like "Data Science for Business." High quality coverage of a broad spectrum.Then, there are Mozart like books. Books that won't replace the former, but will change the way you think about the subject (a.k.a. paradigm shift).Data Smart is such a Mozart like book. You start with Excel to formulate and play with your problem. Why? Because Excel allows you to touch and see your data in every state as an algorithm from input to output. Once you're done you can go to R or Python or ....Genius!

Really like this book. The step-by-step instructions make it very easy to follow and you understand what has to be done.

La gracias de este libro es que te permite comenzar a analizar datos mediante excel y entender cual es el proceso de toma de decisiones con los datos que ya se analizaron. Lo hace desde excel porque es una herramienta más facil que querer explicar todo en R para un curso de principiantes. Complementa muy bien el contenido del libro usando ejemplos de la vida "real" y explica igual el análisis involucrado para sacar información de datos. Lo recomiendo mucho para principiantes antes de moverse a lenguajes más avanzados como fortran, R o Python
