So far, we've seen how to generate an SQLite3 database using the sqlite3 command-line utility, and how to interact with that database within Haskell. This section combines the knowledge of descriptive statistics from Chapter 1, Descriptive Statistics, with our database work in Chapter 2, SQLite3. We will be using descriptive statistics with our SQLite3 database in this section. First, we will create our descriptive statistics module from functions found in our Baseball notebook. Second, we will slice up some data using SELECT queries. Third, we will pass data to our descriptive statistics functions, and discuss the results. We'll be looking at earthquakes, specifically in the region of Oklahoma. So, let's glide over to our virtual machine running our IHaskell Notebook, and what I would like to do is to discuss how...

Overview of this book
Every business and organization that collects data is capable of tapping into its own data to gain insights how to improve. Haskell is a purely functional and lazy programming language, well-suited to handling large data analysis problems. This book will take you through the more difficult problems of data analysis in a hands-on manner.
This book will help you get up-to-speed with the basics of data analysis and approaches in the Haskell language. You'll learn about statistical computing, file formats (CSV and SQLite3), descriptive statistics, charts, and progress to more advanced concepts such as understanding the importance of normal distribution. While mathematics is a big part of data analysis, we've tried to keep this course simple and approachable so that you can apply what you learn to the real world.
By the end of this book, you will have a thorough understanding of data analysis, and the different ways of analyzing data. You will have a mastery of all the tools and techniques in Haskell for effective data analysis.
