Master the techniques and sophisticated analytics used to construct Spark-based solutions that scale to deliver production-grade data science products About This Book Develop and apply advanced analytical techniques with Spark Learn how to tell a compelling story with data science using Spark's ecosystem Explore data at scale and work with cutting edge data science methods Who This Book Is For This book is for those who have beginner-level familiarity with the Spark architecture and data science applications, especially those who are looking for a challenge and want to learn cutting edge techniques. This book assumes working knowledge of data science, common machine learning methods, and popular data science tools, and assumes you have previously run proof of concept studies and built prototypes. What You Will Learn Learn the design patterns that integrate Spark into industrialized data science pipelines See how commercial data scientists design scalable code and reusable code for data science services Explore cutting edge data science methods so that you can study trends and causality Discover advanced programming techniques using RDD and the DataFrame and Dataset APIs Find out how Spark can be used as a universal ingestion engine tool and as a web scraper Practice the implementation of advanced topics in graph processing, such as community detection and contact chaining Get to know the best practices when performing Extended Exploratory Data Analysis, commonly used in commercial data science teams Study advanced Spark concepts, solution design patterns, and integration architectures Demonstrate powerful data science pipelines In Detail Data science seeks to transform the world using data, and this is typically achieved through disrupting and changing real processes in real industries. In order to operate at this level you need to build data science solutions of substance ?solutions that solve real problems. Spark has emerged as the big data platform of choice for data scientists due to its speed, scalability, and easy-to-use APIs. This book deep dives into using Spark to deliver production-grade data science solutions. This process is demonstrated by exploring the construction of a sophisticated global news analysis service that uses Spark to generate continuous geopolitical and current affairs insights.You will learn all about the core Spark APIs and take a comprehensive tour of advanced libraries, including Spark SQL, Spark Streaming, MLli...

Deze documentaire geeft een scherpe analyse van de impact die wegwerpmode heeft op mens, maatschappij en natuur. Ze brengt de relatie in beeld tussen de consumentendruk voor low-cost high fashion en het magere bestaan van sweatshop-werknemers die deze goederen produceren. De prijs van kleding is sedert tientallen jaren afgenomen, terwijl de mensheid en de belasting van het milieu drastisch zijn gegroeid. Gefilmd in landen over de hele wereld, van luxueuze plaatsen tot de donkerste sloppenwijken, en met interviews met toonaangevende beïnvloeders waaronder Stella McCartney, Livia Firth en Vandana Shiva.

Trainees in oncology learn about ionising radiation, but to understand it fully they must also understand the physics relevant to its use in therapy. This is the first book written specifically for the oncology and radiation team. It begins with basic concepts and then explores the principles and practice of physics as it relates to radiotherapy, including discussion of specific types of therapy.ABOUT THE SERIES:Radiotherapy remains the major non-surgical treatment modality for the management of malignant disease. It is based on the application of the principles of applied physics, radiobiolog

A fundamental question for education policy is whether outcomes-based accountability including comprehensive educator evaluations and a closer relationship between effectiveness and compensation improves the quality of instruction and raises achievement. We use synthetic control methods to study the comprehensive teacher and principal evaluation and compensation systems introduced in the Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) in 2013 for principals and 2015 for teachers. Under this far-reaching reform, educator evaluations that are used to support teacher growth and determine salary depend on a combination of supervisor evaluations, student achievement, and student or family survey responses. The reform replaced salary scales based on experience and educational attainment with those based on evaluation scores, a radical departure from decades of rigid salary schedules. The synthetic control estimates reveal positive and significant effects of the reforms on math and reading achievement that increase over time. From 2015 through 2019, the average achievement for the synthetic control district fluctuates narrowly between -0.27 s.d. and -0.3 s.d., while the Dallas ISD average increases steadily from -0.28 s.d. in 2015 to -0.08 s.d. in 2019, the final year of the sample. Though the increase for reading is roughly half as large, it is also highly significant.
