Jupyter for Data Science: Exploratory analysis, statistical modeling, machine learning, and data visualization with Jupyter

Explore the power of Jupyter and start deploying it in various contexts with the help of this highly practical, up-to-date guideAbout This Book* Find an easy way to code, execute, document, and share your live code with this unique guide* Learn to code efficient notebooks for interactive data analysis and deploy dashboards as web applications* This example-rich guide teaches you how to use Jupyter kernels for the major players in data science-Python, R, and JuliaWho This Book Is ForThis book is for those who are already familiar with data analytics languages such as Python, Scala, or R. It will be particularly useful for those who have used Jupyter but want to take their data analytics skills to the next level by utilizing Jupyter and other data science tools.What you will learn* Understand all the functionalities of Jupyter Notebooks such as creating / sharing documents with code, equations, and visualizations* Find out how to secure and share Notebooks* Use Python, Scala, and R with multiple other packages and other web applications to build different data visualization platforms with Jupyter* Create Jupyter Extensions to build new applications* Develop code that is efficient and effective in the realm of data science / analysis* Build interactive dashboards / widgets of Notebooks* Improve the scalability and performance of Notebooks* Use Jupyter for Machine LearningIn DetailJupyter is a very popular web application that allows you to code, analyze vast amounts of data, and create visualization, text, and rich media in a single document that can be shared across people you wish to collaborate with. Initially designed and used for statistical analysis and creating visualizations out of data, Jupyter Notebook has become so popular among data scientists that over 150,000 Jupyter Notebooks have been created on GitHub.This book will take you a step further with notebooks and help you to build multiple data analytics platforms using Jupyter and other data science tools. You'll learn different ways to engineer your data and analyze it for different purposes using multiple Jupyter Notebooks. You'll begin by setting up a data science environment to create and share Jupyter Notebooks. You'll learn to create Jupyter Notebooks to analyze simple to complex big datasets and visualize using python packages.Further on, you'll learn to capitalize on Python's flexibility and R's structured statistical packages to accelerate your data science investigations for real-world applications. Additionally, we'll cover techniques to scale an application using Jupyter extensions for Spark and other dynamic widgets. By the end of the book, you'll have gained mastery over creating and integrating multiple notebooks, being able to secure and optimize them to perform intuitive, iterative, and robust analytics.
