Python Data Analysis

By: Avinash Navlani, Cornellius Yudha Wijaya

Overview of this book

Modern data analysis goes beyond cleaning and visualizing data. Today's practitioners need to build scalable data pipelines, apply machine learning, work with text and image data, and understand emerging AI techniques such as Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). This guide shows you how to tackle these challenges using Python's modern data ecosystem. Unlike books focused on a single library or technique, this book provides an end-to-end approach to Python data analysis. You'll learn how to move from data preparation and exploratory analysis to machine learning, NLP, image analytics, scalable processing, and AI-powered workflows. Starting with statistical foundations, you'll learn how to clean, transform, wrangle, and visualize data. You'll then explore time series analysis, signal processing, forecasting, and predictive analytics before applying machine learning techniques such as regression, classification, clustering, PCA, probabilistic methods, and Bayesian approaches. The book also covers graph analytics, sentiment analysis, NLP, image analytics, Generative AI, and LLMs. Finally, you'll learn to scale analytics workflows using Dask, Modin, Ray, and PySpark. By the end of the book, you'll be able to build end-to-end data analysis pipelines and apply modern data science and AI techniques to solve real-world challenges.

Parallel Computing Using Dask, Modin, and Ray

Modern data analysis increasingly involves working with datasets that are too large or too slow to handle efficiently with traditional workflows based on pandas and scikit-learn. Parallel computing allows users to decompose a data analysis task into smaller units and execute them across multiple CPU cores or even multiple machines. Instead of processing data row by row or file by file sequentially, we can distribute the work and combine the results, often achieving significant speedups and enabling the processing of data that no longer fits in memory.

Understanding parallel computing is essential for at least two reasons. First, real-world datasets continue to grow both in size and complexity. Second, production data workflows must often accommodate practical constraints, such as time windows, SLAs, and hardware limitations. The ability to design parallel pipelines will allow us to conduct analyses that are reasonably faster.
