Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The essential guide for data scientists and for leaders who must get more from their data science teamsThe Economist boldly claims that data are now 'the world's most valuable resource.'

The Real Work of Data Science explores understanding the problems, dealing with quality issues, building trust with decision makers, putting data science teams in the right organizational spots, and helping companies become data-driven. This is the work that spells the difference between a good data scientist and a great one, between a team that makes marginal contributions and one that drives the business, between a company that gains some value from its data and one in which data truly is 'the most valuable resource.''These two authors are world-class experts on analytics, data management, and data quality; they've forgotten more about these topics than most of us will ever know. Their book is pragmatic, understandable, and focused on what really counts. If you want to do data science in any capacity, you need to read it.'--Thomas H. Davenport, Distinguished Professor, Babson College and Fellow, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy'I like your book. The chapters address problems that have faced statisticians for generations, updated to reflect today's issues, such as computational Big Data.'--Sir David Cox, Warden of Nuffield College and Professor of Statistics, Oxford University'Data science is critical for competitiveness, for good government, for correct decisions.
