Discover the capabilities of Py Spark and its application in the realm of data science. This comprehensive guide with hand-picked examples of daily use cases will walk you through the end-to-end predictive model-building cycle with the latest techniques and tricks of the trade.
Applied Data Science Using Py Spark is divided unto six sections which walk you through the book. In section 1, you start with the basics of Py Spark focusing on data manipulation. We make you comfortable with the language and then build upon it to introduce you to the mathematical functions available off the shelf. In section 2, you will dive into the art of variable selection where we demonstrate various selection techniques available in Py Spark. In section 3, we take you on a journey through machine learning algorithms, implementations, and fine-tuning techniques. We will also talk about different validation metrics and how to use them for picking the best models. Sections 4 and 5 go through machine learning pipelines and various methods available to operationalize the model and serve it through Docker/an API. In the final section, you will cover reusable objects for easy experimentation and learn some tricks that can help you optimize your programs and machine learning pipelines.
By the end of this book, you will have seen the flexibility and advantages of Py Spark in data science applications. This book is recommended to those who want to unleash the power of parallel computing by simultaneously working with big datasets.
