The book adopts a largely non-mathematical approach relying on verbal and graphical inuition and covers most of the tools used in modern econometrics research. It contains extensive use of real data examples and involves readers in hands-on computer work.
Business Analytics by ISBN: 0357902386Publication Date: 2023Develop the analytical skills that are in high demand in businesses today. Master the full range of analytics as you strengthen descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytic skills. Real examples and memorable visuals illustrate data and results for each topic.

This book serves as a practitioner's guide to the machine learning process and is meant to help the reader learn to apply the machine learning stack within R, which includes using various R packages such as glmnet, h2o, ranger, xgboost, keras, and others to effectively model and gain insight from their data. The book favors a hands-on approach, providing an intuitive understanding of machine learning concepts through concrete examples and just a little bit of theory.
Quantitative Methods for Business Research: Using Microsoft Excel by Call Number: HD30.215 .D85 2014ISBN: 9781408064825Publication Date: 2014This book and its online resources approach quantitative methods with the assumption that applying the powerful statistical tools available in Excel doesn't require any special competence in mathematics or statistics. It's all about knowing which tools to use and how to use them, not what makes them work (the mathematicians did that behind the scenes and we all thank them!). This book aims to promote two things: the conviction that quants is well within your capabilities; and an enduring interest in the subject that will carry you on beyond the ambition and scope of this work.

Suitable for readers with no previous programming experience, R for Data Science is designed to get you doing data science as quickly as possible.
Text Mining with R: A Tidy Approach by ISBN: 9781491981658Publication Date: 2017-07-18Much of the data available today is unstructured and text-heavy, making it challenging for analysts to apply their usual data wrangling and visualization tools. With this practical book, you'll explore text-mining techniques with tidytext, a package that authors Julia Silge and David Robinson developed using the tidy principles behind R packages like ggraph and dplyr. You'll learn how tidytext and other tidy tools in R can make text analysis easier and more effective.
