数据收集相对比较简单，而要把原始信息转化为有用的数据则需要知道如何精确地抽取你想要的内容。通过这本书的深入讲解，那些对数据分析感兴趣的中等或者富有经验的程序员将可以学习到在商业环境中与数据打交道的技术。你将了解到如何观察数据来找出它所包含的信息，如何在概念模型里捕捉到这些想法，然后把你的理解通过商业计划、度量标准的精确报告和其他方式反馈给你所在的机构。
你将会通过每章结束部分的动手实践来慢慢体验各种概念。最重要的是，你将了解到如何思考你所希望获取的数据——而不是依赖于工具来替你思考。

·使用图形来描述带有一个、两个或者十多个变量的数据
·使用粗略计算以及维度和概率参数来开发概念模型
·使用诸如模拟和聚类的集约计算方法来挖掘数据
·通过报告、信息板和其他度量程序来让你的结论更容易理解
·理解财务计算，包括货币时间价值
·利用降维技术或者预测分析来克服数据分析过程中面临的挑战
·熟悉数据分析的不同开源编程环境

“终于出现了一本简明的参考手册，让你理解如何征服数据”
——Austin King，高级网站开发人员, Mozilla

“有理想的数据研究员不可或缺的资料。”
——Michael E. Driscoll，CEO/创建者, Dataspora

Philipp K. Janert于1997年获得华盛顿大学理论物理学博士学位，之后一直从事技术工作，担任程序员、科学家和应用数学家。他著有《数据之魅：基于开源工具的数据分析》《计算机系统的反馈控制》以及《Gnuplot实战》(第2版)。
After previous careers in physics and software development, Philipp K. Janert currently
provides consulting services for data analysis, algorithm development, and mathematical
modeling. He has worked for small start-ups and in large corporate environments, both in
the U.S. and overseas. He prefers simple solutions that work to complicated ones that
don’t, and thinks that purpose is more important than process. Philipp is the author of
“Gnuplot in Action: Understanding Data with Graphs” (Manning Publications), and has
written for the O’Reilly Network, IBM developerWorks, and IEEE Software. He is named
inventor on a handful of patents, and is an occasional contributor to CPAN. He holds a
Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Washington. Visit his company website

The animal on the cover of Data Analysis with Open Source Tools is a common kite, most
likely a member of the genus Milvus. Kites are medium-size raptors with long wings and
forked tails. They are noted for their elegant, soaring flight. They are also called “gledes”
(for their gliding motion) and, like the flying toys, they appear to ride effortlessly on air
currents.
The genus Milvus is a group of Old World kites, including three or four species and
numerous subspecies. These kites are opportunistic feeders that hunt small animals, such
as birds, fish, rodents, and earthworms, and also eat carrion, including sheep and cow
carcasses. They have been observed to steal prey from other birds. They may live 25 to
30 years in the wild.
The genus dates to prehistoric times; an Israeli Milvus pygmaeus specimen is thought to be
between 1.8 million and 780,000 years old. Biblical references to kites probably refer to
birds of this genus. In Coriolanus, Shakespeare calls Rome “the city of kites and crows,”
commenting on the birds’ prevalence in urban areas.
The most widespread member of the genus is the black kite (Milvus migrans), found in
Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. These kites are very common in many parts of their
habitat and are well adapted to city life. Attracted by smoke, they sometimes hunt by
capturing small animals fleeing from fires.
The other notable member of Milvus is the red kite (Milvus milvus), which is slightly larger
than the black kite and is distinguished by a rufous body and tail. Red kites are found only
in Europe. They were very common in Britain until 1800, but the population was devastated by poisoning and habitat loss, and by 1930, fewer than 20 birds remained.
Since then, kites have made a comeback in Wales and have been reintroduced elsewhere
in Britain.
