數(shù)據(jù)分析是包含檢查、清洗、轉(zhuǎn)化和建模的整個過程，旨在發(fā)現(xiàn)有用的信息。Java是實現(xiàn)數(shù)據(jù)分析任務的流行語言之一。
《Java數(shù)據(jù)分析（影印版 英文版）》將提供數(shù)據(jù)科學和相關流程步驟的快速概覽。你將從中學到統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)分析技巧，并通過流行的Java API和類庫把它們實現(xiàn)。你還能在實際案例中學到諸如分類和回歸之類的機器學習概念。
在這個過程中，你將熟悉RapidMinet和Weka等工具，了解這些Java工具如何更有效地用于分析。還會學到如何與關系型、NoSQL和時間序列數(shù)據(jù)打交道。
《Java數(shù)據(jù)分析（影印版 英文版）》也將介紹如何利用不同的Java類庫創(chuàng)建富有洞見又容易理解的圖表。
學完《Java數(shù)據(jù)分析（影印版 英文版）》，你將對多種數(shù)據(jù)分析技巧和相應的Java實現(xiàn)擁有扎實的基礎知識。
