The Bioconductor project is a widely used open source and open development platform for software for computational biology. It is a leading platform for doing data science in Genomics.  This book covers the core functionality needed to deploy Bioconductor on modern datasets, and will lay the foundation for you to learn and explore parts of the project devoted to specific application domains.

Your correlation results are probably wrong. Sorry, but they are.You see, there is one really important thing to know about your correlations that mean that whatever results you get you can’t be sure they are correct. Beginner’s Guide to Correlation Analysis fixes that. Discover the world of correlation analysis. Get this book, TODAY!

This book, along with the materials it provides access to, offers a guided path to learning the art of data science. Engage in weekly activities and learn how to ask a good question, explore datasets, and to use models to develop solid statistical evidence. In addition to the materials in the book, you will get access to lecture videos, receive emails with bonus material, and have access to videos of the authors discussing their views on each session’s activities.

'Big Data' is certainly a cultural and business phenomenon. But what challenges do Data Scientists face in their day-to-day jobs. This collection of interviews with thought-leaders with experience at firms such as Etsy, Spotify, Amazon, Shopify and Stitchfix is an invaluable read to anyone working as a data scientist or managing a team. --------------------- To help support the scientific programming and data analysis community all proceeds from this book will be donated to NumFOCUS.

The official companion of Finding Hidden Messages in DNA, the popular first course in Coursera's Bioinformatics sequence. Learn how biologists have begun to decipher the strange and wonderful language of DNA without needing to put on a lab coat. This book contains the first two chapters from Volume 1 of Bioinformatics Algorithms: An Active Learning Approach.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. This book covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of fMRI data.

This book will teach you two things: how to make high quality statistical charts, and how to do it fast. The tool we’ll use is a R package called ezplot, which I wrote to help me with my consulting work. After working through this book, you will be able to create any of the top 10 most used charts in less than 1 minute.

This book introduces a formal framework for measuring ignorance (or nescience) and for guiding scientific discovery. Grounded in computability theory, Kolmogorov complexity, and artificial intelligence, the book analyzes how representations and models encode knowledge, and how their limitations can be quantified. The result is a new perspective on unknown unknowns, perfect knowledge, and the limits of science. For readers interested in artificial intelligence, scientific discovery, and the foundations of knowledge.

Data is messy and cleaning it can be time-consuming and costly – but it doesn’t have to be this way. If you're organised and follow a few simple rules your data cleaning processes can be simple, fast and effective.Practical Data Cleaning explains the 19 most important tips about data cleaning to get your data analysis-ready in double quick time.

This book teaches you how to use data analysis and machine learning to predict bad loan customers based on their applications and demographic data. It is a step-by-step guide, starting from data cleaning, descriptive and exploratory analysis, data visualization, and finishing at model building and backtesting. Each step is accompanied by a set of R code that are ready to use in your own projects with no or little modifications.
