Overview of this book

Data analysis enables you to generate value from small and big data by discovering new patterns and trends, and Python is one of the most popular tools for analyzing a wide variety of data. With this book, you’ll get up and running using Python for data analysis by exploring the different phases and methodologies used in data analysis and learning how to use modern libraries from the Python ecosystem to create efficient data pipelines. Starting with the essential statistical and data analysis fundamentals using Python, you’ll perform complex data analysis and modeling, data manipulation, data cleaning, and data visualization using easy-to-follow examples. You’ll then understand how to conduct time series analysis and signal processing using ARMA models. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with smart processing and data analytics using machine learning algorithms such as regression, classification, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and clustering. In the concluding chapters, you’ll work on real-world examples to analyze textual and image data using natural language processing (NLP) and image analytics techniques, respectively. Finally, the book will demonstrate parallel computing using Dask. By the end of this data analysis book, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to prepare data for analysis and create meaningful data visualizations for forecasting values from data.

TF-IDF

TF-IDF stands for Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency. It has two segments: Term Frequency (TF) and Inverse Document Frequency (IDF). TF only counts the occurrence of words in each document. It is equivalent to BoW. TF does not consider the context of words and is biased toward longer documents. IDF computes values that correspond to the amount of information kept by a word.

TF-IDF is the dot product of both segments – TF and IDF. TF-IDF normalizes the document weights. A higher value of TF-IDF for a word represents a higher occurrence in that document. Let's take the following three documents:

Document 1: I like pizza.

Document 2: I do not like burgers.

Document 3: Pizza and burgers both are junk food.

Now, we will create the DTM. This matrix consists of the document name in the row headers, the words in the column headers, and the TF-IDF values in the cells:

...

I

like

pizza

do

not

burgers

and

both

are

junk

food
