Mathematica Data Analysis

Overview of this book

There are many algorithms for data analysis and it’s not always possible to quickly choose the best one for each case. Implementation of the algorithms takes a lot of time. With the help of Mathematica, you can quickly get a result from the use of a particular method, because this system contains almost all the known algorithms for data analysis. If you are not a programmer but you need to analyze data, this book will show you the capabilities of Mathematica when just few strings of intelligible code help to solve huge tasks from statistical issues to pattern recognition. If you're a programmer, with the help of this book, you will learn how to use the library of algorithms implemented in Mathematica in your programs, as well as how to write algorithm testing procedure. With each chapter, you'll be more immersed in the special world of Mathematica. Along with intuitive queries for data processing, we will highlight the nuances and features of this system, allowing you to build effective analysis systems. With the help of this book, you will learn how to optimize the computations by combining your libraries with the Mathematica kernel.

Summary


In this chapter, we reviewed the main points of data analysis. We learned Mathematica's functions that will help to perform data classification (as a supervised learning technique) and data clustering (as an unsupervised learning technique). We got to know how to recognize faces, classify objects in an image, and work with textual information by identifying the language of the text and recognizing the text in the image. Apart from this, we analyzed barcodes as a system of information recognition simplification. We learned to read and create barcodes.

In the next chapter, we'll consider how to use Mathematica's tools to analyze different time series consisting of random variables.
