Description

Data analysis is often misunderstood as a purely technical process, but in reality it requires a deep understanding of how to ask questions, explore data, and communicate findings. This process is complex and difficult to generalize, making it challenging for many people to describe exactly how to do it. Fundamentally, data analysis is an art that cannot yet be easily automated. While tools such as linear regression, classification trees, and random forests are available, they must be used by a person who can assemble them into a coherent approach to answer a question of interest. This book provides a clear guide to the process of data analysis, outlining how to explore data, conduct formal modeling, interpret results, and communicate findings.
