Data Visualization and Exploratory Analysis

Visualizing data is key to understanding its patterns and trends. This chapter introduces you to essential data visualization techniques, including histograms, scatterplots, line charts, and box plots. You'll learn how to use these visualizations to explore data, identify anomalies, and gain meaningful insights.

Chapter 2: Descriptive Analytics

Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion

Descriptive analytics provides a snapshot of your data at a specific point in time. This chapter introduces you to statistical measures such as mean, median, and mode, which help you understand the central tendency of your data. You'll also explore measures of dispersion, including standard deviation and variance, to assess the spread of your data.

Hypothesis Testing and Statistical Inference

Statistical inference allows you to draw s about a population based on a sample. This chapter covers hypothesis testing methods, such as t-tests and chi-square tests, and explains how to interpret the results to make informed decisions.

Chapter 3: Predictive Analytics

Regression Analysis for Predicting Continuous Variables

Regression analysis is a powerful technique for predicting continuous variables based on one or more independent variables. This chapter introduces you to simple and multiple linear regression, explaining how to fit regression models, interpret their coefficients, and assess their accuracy.

Classification Analysis for Predicting Categorical Variables

Classification analysis helps you predict categorical variables, such as whether a customer will churn or not. This chapter covers logistic regression, decision trees, and Naive Bayes models, providing step-by-step instructions on building and evaluating classification algorithms.

Chapter 4: Prescriptive Analytics

Optimization Modeling for Making Optimal Decisions

Prescriptive analytics takes data analysis a step further, helping you make optimal decisions. This chapter introduces linear programming, mixed-integer programming, and nonlinear programming models, which can be used to solve complex resource allocation, scheduling, and optimization problems.

Simulation and Monte Carlo Modeling

Simulation modeling allows you to evaluate the effects of different decision scenarios before implementing them in the real world. This chapter explains the principles of discrete-event simulation and how to use Monte Carlo simulation to assess uncertainty and risk.

Chapter 5: Advanced Analytics Techniques
