Learning Path: Java: Big Data Analysis with Java

Data analysis is a process for inspecting, consolidating, transforming, and making sense of data in a way that guides the decision-making process. If you're interested to know the statistical data analysis techniques and implement them using the popular Java APIs and libraries, then go for this Learning Path.

Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
 
The highlights of this Learning Path are:

• Get your basics on point to perform data analysis with Java
• Solutions to help you overcome your data science hurdles using Java

 
Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path starts by showing you the various techniques of pre-processing your data. You will get well-versed with the basics of data analysis with Java, how data changes state, and how Java fits into the analysis. You will then learn to apply the basic analysis to your business needs and create time-series predictions. You will also see how to implement statistical data analysis techniques using Java APIs. If you are looking to build data science models that are good for production, Java has come to the rescue. With the aid of strong libraries such as MLlib, Weka, DL4j, and more, you can efficiently perform all the data science tasks you need to. This Learning Path will help you to learn how you can retrieve data from data sources with different level of complexities. You will learn how you could handle big data to extract meaningful insights from data. Finally, you will dive into visualizing data to uncover trends and hidden relationships.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to analyze your data,  retrieve data from data sources with different level of complexities, and also write and modify applications that perform data analysis in a step-by-step manner.

Erik Costlow was the principal product manager for Oracle’s launch of Java 8. His background is in software security analysis, dealing with the security issues that rose to the surface within Java 6 and Java 7. While working on the JDK, Erik applied different data analysis techniques to identify and mitigate ways that threats could propagate through the overall Java platform and overlying applications.
