In order to carry out data analytics, we need powerful and flexible computing software. However the software available for data analytics is often proprietary and can be expensive. This book reviews Apache tools, which are open source and easy to use. After providing an overview of the background of data analytics, covering the different types of analysis and the basics of using Hadoop as a tool, it focuses on different Hadoop ecosystem tools, like Apache Flume, Apache Spark, Apache Storm, Apache Hive, R, and Python, which can be used for different types of analysis. It then examines the different machine learning techniques that are useful for data analytics, and how to visualize data with different graphs and charts. Presenting data analytics from a practice-oriented viewpoint, the book discusses useful tools and approaches for data analytics, supported by concrete code examples. The book is a valuable reference resource for graduate students and professionals in related fields, and is also of interest to general readers with an understanding of data analytics.
Signs of Reincarnation provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research. Matlock discusses various ways the evidence may be interpreted and shows that although reincarnation entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. This book offers students, scholars, and anyone interested in the possibility of reincarnation an essential grounding in beliefs, cases, and theory, while opening doors for future research into the extension of consciousness beyond our present lives.
