Data Mining and Exploration: From Traditional Statistics to Modern Data Science : CRC Press : 9780367721466 : 0367721465 : 27 Oct 2022 : "This book will introduce both conceptual and procedural aspects of cutting-edge data science methods, such as dynamic data visualization, artificial neural networks, ensemble methods, and text mining. There are at least two unique elements that can set the book apart from its rivals. Most students in social sciences, engineering, and business took at least one class in introductory statistics before learning data science. However, usually these courses do not discuss the similarities and differences between these two schools of thought, and as a result learners are disoriented by this seemingly drastic paradigm shift.
