Description

Efficient business decisions with an accurate sense of business data helps in delivering better performance across products and services. This book helps you to leverage the popular Scala libraries and tools for performing core data analysis tasks with ease. The book begins with a quick overview of the building blocks of a standard data analysis process. You will learn to perform basic tasks like Extraction, Staging, Validation, Cleaning, and Shaping of datasets. You will later deep dive into the data exploration and visualization areas of the data analysis life cycle. You will make use of popular Scala libraries like Saddle, Breeze, Vegas, and PredictionIO for processing your datasets. You will learn statistical methods for deriving meaningful insights from data. You will also learn to create applications for Apache Spark 2.x on complex data analysis, in real-time. You will discover traditional machine learning techniques for doing data analysis. Furthermore, you will also be introduced to neural networks and deep learning from a data analysis standpoint. By the end of this book, you will be capable of handling large sets of structured and unstructured data, perform exploratory analysis, and building efficient Scala applications for discovering and delivering insights

I have been thinking about writing the review for this book for some time.I was planning to switch from R/SAS to Scala for data analysis and ML project on Spark.I was looking for a book which is quick read and cover various practical examples of using Scala with large datasets. Then I came across this book. It covers basics of language and shows how to use Scala/Spark for practical projects. It helped me to setup Scala and various tools and library on Spark cluster.Book is very methodical in its approach covering various aspects of big data analytics projects. It helped me to be productive in no time and start using Scala and Spark.One can finish this book in short period of time and will be ready to work on large scale Scala projects.Author has done great justice to the title and I highly recommend this work to anyone who wants to learn and adapt Scala/Spark.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.
