Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python
Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python is envisaged as a student's first introduction to data science, providing a high-level overview as well as discussing key concepts in detail. We explore methods for cleaning data gathered from different sources, transforming, selecting, and extracting features, performing exploratory data analysis and dimensionality reduction, identifying naturally occurring data clusters, modelling patterns in data, comparing data between groups, and reporting the results.
For many students around the world, educational resources are hardly affordable. Therefore, I have decided that this book should remain an independent, non-profit, open-access project. You can read it at:
- https://datawranglingpy.gagolewski.com/ (a browser-friendly version)
- https://datawranglingpy.gagolewski.com/datawranglingpy.pdf (PDF)
You can also order a paper copy.
Whilst, for some people, the presence of a "designer tag" from a major publisher might still be a proxy for quality, it is my hope that this publication will prove useful to those who seek knowledge for knowledge's sake.
Please spread the news about this project.

About the Author
Marek Gagolewski is currently an Associate Professor in Data Science at the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science, Warsaw University of Technology.
His research interests are related to data science, in particular: modelling complex phenomena, developing usable, general-purpose algorithms, studying their analytical properties, and finding out how people use, misuse, understand, and misunderstand methods of data analysis in scientific, business, and decision-making settings.
He is an author of ~100 publications, including journal papers in outlets such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Journal of Statistical Software, The R Journal, Journal of Classification, Information Fusion, International Journal of Forecasting, Statistical Modelling, Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, Information Sciences, Knowledge-Based Systems, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, and Journal of Informetrics.
In his "spare" time, he writes books for his students
(check out Deep R Programming)
and develops open-source software for data analysis, such as
stringi (one of the most often downloaded
R packages) and
genieclust (a fast and robust
hierarchical clustering algorithm in both Python and R).
