A guide to everything you need to understand to navigate a world increasingly governed by data. Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In this book, Critical Data Literacies, Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. The authors challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. Drawing on emerging areas of scholarship such as data justice, data feminism, and other critical data studies approaches, they explore how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data critically and creatively. Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters, the book introduces readers to the main components of critical data literacies—from the fundamentals of identifying and understanding data to the complexities of engaging with more combative data tactics. Critical Data Literacies explores how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation.

Privacy Preservation of Genomic and Medical Data discusses topics concerning the privacy preservation of genomic data in the digital era, including data security, data standards, and privacy laws so that researchers in biomedical informatics, computer privacy and ELSI can assess the latest advances in privacy-preserving techniques for the protection of human genomic data. Privacy Preservation of Genomic and Medical Data focuses on genomic data sources, analytical tools, and the importance of privacy preservation. Topics discussed include tensor flow and Bio-Weka, privacy laws, HIPAA, and other emerging technologies like Internet of Things, IoT-based cloud environments, cloud computing, edge computing, and blockchain technology for smart applications. Data Science is a broad field encompassing some of the fastest-growing subjects in interdisciplinary statistics, mathematics and Computer Science. It encompasses a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, including diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains. Similarly, data analytics is now required in the medial field for analyzing genomic and genetic data.

Over the past 10 years, data analytics and data visualization have become essential components of an enterprise information strategy. And yet, the adoption of data analytics has remained remarkably static, reaching no more than 30% of potential users. This book explores the most important techniques for taking that adoption further: embedding analytics into the workflow of our everyday operations. Author Donald Farmer, principal of TreeHive Strategy, shows business users how to improve decision-making without becoming analytic specialists. You'll explore different techniques for exchanging data, insights, and events between analytic platforms and hosting applications. You'll also examine issues including data governance and regulatory compliance and learn best practices for deploying and managing embedded analytics at scale. We hope this book will work for a wide range of professionals who are involved in designing, building, or managing software applications that feature embedded analytics. If you are responsible for developing software applications, this book will help you understand how to design and build applications with embedded analytics features. You will learn how to create applications that are more intuitive and efficient for the end user, as well as how to integrate analytics into the application development process.

Early system administration required in-depth knowledge of a variety of services on individual systems. Now, the job is increasingly complex and different from one company to the next with an ever-growing list of technologies and third-party services to integrate. How does any one individual stay relevant in systems and services? This practical guide helps anyone in operations—sysadmins, automation engineers, IT professionals, and site reliability engineers—understand the essential concepts of the role today. For the last decade, DevOps has been mistakenly used to describe modern system administration, but the reality is that DevOps is just one of the new practices we must adopt to thrive in our ever-changing environments. Modern system administration is about more than a single practice. And it can’t be fully defined by a single tool, or set of individual contributions, either.

The utilization of Machine Learning (ML) techniques to understand hidden patterns and build data-driven predictive models from complex multivariate datasets is rapidly increasing in many applied science and engineering disciplines, including geo-energy. Motivated by these developments,Machine Learning Applications in Subsurface Energy Resource Management presents a current snapshot of the state of the art and future outlook for ML applications to manage subsurface energy resources (e.g., oil and gas, geologic carbon sequestration, and geothermal energy). It is known that many articles and texts prevent the reader from reproducing the results either because the data were not freely available or because the software was inaccessible, or only available for purchase. Therefore, it was my goal to be as hands-on as possible in stating the methods used, enabling the readers to reproduce the results and extend the methodology to their own data. Furthermore, the authors opted to use the Python language, an open-access software, for all stages of the Machine Learning process. Most of the chapters contain links to the data sets, Python notebooks, and software used here to reproduce the analyses in each chapter. I selected Python as the computational engine of this book for several reasons. First, Python is freely available for multiple operating systems. I encourage you to take the time to compare each of your solutions with the results in this book. Performing this comparison may help you become more familiar with a technique you could have used to solve a specific problem more efficiently.

A practical guide to using Spark SQL to perform complex queries on your Databricks data. Databricks stands out as a widely embraced platform dedicated to the creation of data lakes. Within its framework, it extends support to a specialized version of Structured Query Language (SQL) known as Spark SQL. If you are interested in learning more about how to use Spark SQL to analyze data in a data lake, then this book is for you. The book covers everything from basic queries to complex data-processing tasks. It begins with an introduction to SQL and Spark. It then covers the basics of SQL, including data types, operators, and clauses. The next few chapters focus on filtering, aggregation, and calculation. Additionally, it covers dates and times, formatting output, and using logic in your queries. It also covers joining tables, subqueries, derived tables, and common table expressions. Additionally, it discusses correlated subqueries, joining and filtering datasets, using SQL in calculations, segmenting and classifying data, rolling analysis, and analyzing data over time. The book concludes with a chapter on advanced data presentation. Data is the lifeblood of the enterprise. Whether “Big Data” or the data stored in classic databases, it is queried using a variant of Structured Query Language (SQL). So, simply put, SQL is key to data analysis.
