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.

MapReduce algorithm

MapReduce is a programming model or framework for processing large distributed data. It processes data that resides on hundreds of machines. It is a simple, elegant, and easy-to-understand programming model. It is based on the parallel computation of the job in a distributed environment. It processes a large amount of data in a reasonable time. Here, distribution means parallel computing of the same task on each CPU with a different dataset. A MapReduce program can be written in JAVA, Python, and C++.

MapReduce has two basic operations: The first operation is applied to each of the input records, and the second operation aggregates the output results. MapReduce must define two functions:

  • Map function: It reads, splits, transforms, and filters input data
  • Reduce function: It shuffles, sorts, aggregates, and reduces the results

The map task takes a set of input files that are distributed over the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)...
