13: Data Science in practice

Abstract

The practice chapter primarily focuses on the practical aspects of Data Science, emphasizing hands-on learning. It offers readers step-by-step tutorials to guide them through the implementation of Data Science techniques using the Python programming language. These tutorials cover a diverse range of topics, including data cleaning, preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, evaluation, and data visualization. The chapter leverages popular Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Matplotlib to provide practical examples of data preprocessing, feature selection, and the training and evaluation of machine learning models.
