Overview of this book

Anaconda is an open source platform that brings together the best tools for data science professionals with more than 100 popular packages supporting Python, Scala, and R languages. Hands-On Data Science with Anaconda gets you started with Anaconda and demonstrates how you can use it to perform data science operations in the real world. The book begins with setting up the environment for Anaconda platform in order to make it accessible for tools and frameworks such as Jupyter, pandas, matplotlib, Python, R, Julia, and more. You’ll walk through package manager Conda, through which you can automatically manage all packages including cross-language dependencies, and work across Linux, macOS, and Windows. You’ll explore all the essentials of data science and linear algebra to perform data science tasks using packages such as SciPy, contrastive, scikit-learn, Rattle, and Rmixmod. Once you’re accustomed to all this, you’ll start with operations in data science such as cleaning, sorting, and data classification. You’ll move on to learning how to perform tasks such as clustering, regression, prediction, and building machine learning models and optimizing them. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to visualize data using the packages available for Julia, Python, and R.

Introduction to unsupervised learning

For unsupervised learning, we try to reorganize data or classify it into different groups based on certain traits or characteristics. For this purpose, we can use certain rules to categorize our dataset. For example, we could classify them into different groups based on investors' characteristics, such as age, education level, background, job types, living city, profession, salary level, and house ownership. For instance, they could be classified into four types of investors: aggressive, risk averse, risk neutral, and extremely risk averse. After that, financial institutions could design and market specific financial products targeting different groups.

To plan an equitable income tax policy, governments could classify potential taxpayers based on various criteria, such as income level and whether a person has a certain disability. Then...
