Bøker av David Monaghan

A fun romp through one man's life's events with a quirky look at what he learned. The facts are pretty comedic and irreverent to the extent that he was constantly being lectured or dressed down for expressing his off the cuff opinion. You know that filter we're supposed to have that prevents us from saying really dumb things? Apparently, the author's filter is broken.

We live in a world of big data: the amount of information collected on human behavior each day is staggering, and exponentially greater than at any time in the past. Additionally, powerful algorithms are capable of churning through seas of data to uncover patterns. Providing a simple and accessible introduction to data mining, Paul Attewell and David B. Monaghan discuss how data mining substantially differs from conventional statistical modeling familiar to most social scientists. The authors also empower social scientists to tap into these new resources and incorporate data mining methodologies in their analytical toolkits. Data Mining for the Social Sciences demystifies the process by describing the diverse set of techniques available, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches, and giving practical demonstrations of how to carry out analyses using tools in various statistical software packages.
