Master advanced topics in the analysis of large, dynamically dependent datasets with this insightful resourceStatistical Learning with Big Dependent Data delivers a comprehensive presentation of the statistical and machine learning methods useful for analyzing and forecasting large and dynamically dependent data sets. The book presents automatic procedures for modelling and forecasting large sets of time series data.  Beginning with some visualization tools, the book discusses procedures and methods for finding outliers, clusters, and other types of heterogeneity in big dependent data. It then introduces various dimension reduction methods, including regularization and factor models such as regularized Lasso in the presence of dynamical dependence and dynamic factor models. The book also covers other forecasting procedures, including index models, partial least squares, boosting, and now-casting. It further presents machine-learning methods, including neural network, deep learning, classification and regression trees and random forests.  Finally, procedures for modelling and forecasting spatio-temporal dependent data are also presented.Throughout the book, the advantages and disadvantages of the methods discussed are given.  The book uses real-world examples to demonstrate applications, including use of many R packages. Finally, an R package associated with the book is available to assist readers in reproducing the analyses of examples and to facilitate real applications.Analysis of Big Dependent Data includes a wide variety of topics for modeling and understanding big dependent data, like:New ways to plot large sets of time seriesAn automatic procedure to build univariate ARMA models for individual components of a large data setPowerful outlier detection procedures for large sets of related time seriesNew methods for finding the number of clusters of time series and discrimination methods , including vector support machines, for time seriesBroad coverage of dynamic factor models including new representations and estimation methods for generalized dynamic factor modelsDiscussion on the usefulness of lasso with time series and an evaluation of several machine learning procedure for forecasting large sets of time seriesForecasting large sets of time series with exogenous variables, including discussions of index models, partial least squares, and boosting.Introduction of modern procedures for modeling and forecasting spatio-temporal data Perfect for PhD students and researchers in business, economics, engineering, and science: Statistical Learning with Big Dependent Data also belongs to the bookshelves of practitioners in these fields who hope to improve their understanding of statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing and forecasting big dependent data.

\"Data science is increasingly important in the business world, not just for the teams in charge of implementing it but the professionals adjacent to them. Yet not all businesspeople have a general understanding of the basics-and if senior management assigns them to work alongside a data science team, they'll need that knowledge as soon as possible without having to take online courses or dive down the Internet rabbit hole. This book provides that knowledge base, walking readers through the key ideas needed to communicate and work with a data science team. They will be able to understand the basic technical lingo, recognize the types of talent on the team and pose good questions to your data scientists to open up more insights, create opportunities, and generate value. By the end of the book they will be able to answer key questions including how data is collected and stored, what hardware and software tools are needed to analyze data, who does what on the data science team and which models should be considered for specific projects. Most critically, they will also be armed with critical questions that you can use to further probe data analysts, statisticians, data scientists and other technical experts to better understand the value of their work for a business\"-- Provided by publisher.

The second edition of a bestseller, Statistical and Machine-Learning Data Mining: Techniques for Better Predictive Modeling and Analysis of Big Datais still the only book, to date, to distinguish between statistical data mining and machine-learning data mining. The first edition, titled Statistical Modeling and Analysis for Database Marketing: Effective Techniques for Mining Big Data,contained 17 chapters of innovative and practical statistical data mining techniques. In this second edition, renamed to reflect the increased coverage of machine-learning data mining techniques, the author has completely revised, reorganized, and repositioned the original chapters and produced 14 new chapters of creative and useful machine-learning data mining techniques. In sum, the 31 chapters of simple yet insightful quantitative techniques make this book unique in the field of data mining literature. The statistical data mining methods effectively consider big data for identifying structures (variables) with the appropriate predictive power in order to yield reliable and robust large-scale statistical models and analyses. In contrast, the author's own GenIQ Model provides machine-learning solutions to common and virtually unapproachable statistical problems. GenIQ makes this possible - its utilitarian data mining features start where statistical data mining stops. This book contains essays offering detailed background, discussion, and illustration of specific methods for solving the most commonly experienced problems in predictive modeling and analysis of big data. They address each methodology and assign its application to a specific type of problem. To better ground readers, the book provides an in-depth discussion of the basic methodologies of predictive modeling and analysis. While this type of overview has been attempted before, this approach offers a truly nitty-gritty, step-by-step method that both tyros and experts in the field can enjoy playing with.
