Getting Started with Haskell Data Analysis: Put your data analysis techniques to work and generate publication-ready visualizations

by James Church

Put your Haskell skills to work and generate publication-ready visualizations in no time at all

Key FeaturesTake your data analysis skills to the next level using the power of HaskellUnderstand regression analysis, perform multivariate regression, and untangle different cluster varietiesCreate publication-ready visualizations of dataBook DescriptionEvery 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.

What you will learnLearn to parse a CSV file and read data into the Haskell environmentCreate Haskell functions for common descriptive statistics functionsCreate an SQLite3 database using an existing CSV fileLearn the versatility of SELECT queries for slicing data into smaller chunksApply regular expressions in large-scale datasets using both CSV and SQLite3 filesCreate a Kernel Density Estimator visualization using normal distributionWho this book is forThis book is intended for people who wish to expand their knowledge of statistics and data analysis via real-world examples. A basic understanding of the Haskell language is expected. If you are feeling brave, you can jump right into the functional programming style.
