本書是探索性數(shù)據(jù)分析(Exploratory Data Analysis, EDA)提出者、“數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)之父” 約翰·圖基(John Tukey)的經(jīng)典著作,書中尤其強調(diào)對數(shù)據(jù)分析采取更靈活態(tài)度以及仔細探索數(shù)據(jù)以了解其中可能包含哪些結(jié)構(gòu)和信息的重要性。探索性數(shù)據(jù)分析是現(xiàn)代數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)的鼻祖,建立了數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)的關(guān)鍵基礎(chǔ)。
作者簡介
約翰·圖基(John Tukey),世界著名數(shù)學(xué)家和統(tǒng)計學(xué)家,美國國家科學(xué)院和英國皇家學(xué)會的院士,美國科學(xué)最高獎——國家科學(xué)獎?wù)拢∟ational Medal of Science)獲得者。他被后人譽為“數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)之父”,他提出的探索性數(shù)據(jù)分析是數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)的鼻祖。在數(shù)學(xué)尤其是統(tǒng)計領(lǐng)域有眾多名詞都是以他的名字命名的,比如Tukey range test、Tukey lambda distribution、Tukey test of additivity、Quenouille–Tukey jackknife、Teichmüller-Tukey lemma、Cooley-Tukey FFT algorithm、Blackman-Tukey transformation、Freeman-Tukey transformation、Siegel-Tukey test、Tukey-Duckworth test、Stone-Tukey theorem、Tukey trimean、Tukey mean difference plot、Tukey median、Tukey depth、Tukey biweight function、Tukey fences、Tukey window等。他提出的快速傅里葉變換(FFT)是世界上使用最廣的算法,他獲得過IEEE最高榮譽獎?wù)拢↖EEE Medal of Honor)。他還因創(chuàng)造出“比特”(bit)一詞和最早使用“軟件”(software)一詞而聞名。
