Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

The burgeoning field of data science has provided a wealth of techniques for analysing large and complex geospatial datasets including descriptive explanatory and predictive analytics. However applying these methods is just one part of the overall process of geographic data science. Other critical steps include screening for suspect data values handling missing data harmonizing data from multiple sources summarizing the data and visualizing data and analysis results. Although there are many books available on statistical and machine learning methods few encompass the broader topic of scientific workflows for geospatial data processing and analysis. The purpose of Geographic Data Science with R is to fill this gap by providing a series of tutorials aimed at teaching good practices for using geospatial data to address problems in environmental geography. It is based on the R language and environment which currently provides the best option for working with diverse spatial and non-spatial data in a single platform. Fundamental techniques for processing and visualizing tabular vector and raster data are introduced through a series of practical examples followed by case studies that combine multiple types of data to address more complex problems. The book will have a broad audience. Both students and professionals can use it as a workbook to learn high-level techniques for geospatial data processing and analysis with R. It is also suitable as a textbook. Although not intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to R it is designed to be accessible to readers who have at least some knowledge of coding but little to no experience with R. Key Features: Focus on developing practical workflows for processing and integrating multiple sources of geospatial data in R Example-based approach that teaches R programming and data science concepts through real-world applications related to climate land cover and land use and natural hazards. Consistent use of tidyverse packages for tabular data manipulation and visualization. Strong focus on analysing continuous and categorical raster datasets using the new terra package Organized so that each chapter builds on the topics and techniques covered in the preceding chapters Can be used for self-study or as the textbook for a geospatial science course. | Geographic Data Science with R Visualizing and Analyzing Environmental Change

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python

Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists: With R and Python is designed as a textbook for a one- or two-term introduction to mathematical statistics for students training to become data scientists. It is an in-depth presentation of the topics in statistical science with which any data scientist should be familiar including probability distributions descriptive and inferential statistical methods and linear modeling. The book assumes knowledge of basic calculus so the presentation can focus on why it works as well as how to do it. Compared to traditional mathematical statistics textbooks however the book has less emphasis on probability theory and more emphasis on using software to implement statistical methods and to conduct simulations to illustrate key concepts. All statistical analyses in the book use R software with an appendix showing the same analyses with Python. Key Features: Shows the elements of statistical science that are important for students who plan to become data scientists. Includes Bayesian and regularized fitting of models (e. g. showing an example using the lasso) classification and clustering and implementing methods with modern software (R and Python). Contains nearly 500 exercises. The book also introduces modern topics that do not normally appear in mathematical statistics texts but are highly relevant for data scientists such as Bayesian inference generalized linear models for non-normal responses (e. g. logistic regression and Poisson loglinear models) and regularized model fitting. The nearly 500 exercises are grouped into Data Analysis and Applications and Methods and Concepts. Appendices introduce R and Python and contain solutions for odd-numbered exercises. The book's website (http://stat4ds. rwth-aachen. de/) has expanded R Python and Matlab appendices and all data sets from the examples and exercises. | Foundations of Statistics for Data Scientists With R and Python
