Data Science: Measuring Uncertainties

With the increase in data processing and storage capacity a large amount of data is available. Data without analysis does not have much value. Thus the demand for data analysis is increasing daily and the consequence is the appearance of a large number of jobs and published articles. Data science has emerged as a multidisciplinary field to support data-driven activities integrating and developing ideas methods and processes to extract information from data. This includes methods built from different knowledge areas: Statistics Computer Science Mathematics Physics Information Science and Engineering. This mixture of areas has given rise to what we call Data Science. New solutions to the new problems are reproducing rapidly to generate large volumes of data. Current and future challenges require greater care in creating new solutions that satisfy the rationality for each type of problem. Labels such as Big Data Data Science Machine Learning Statistical Learning and Artificial Intelligence are demanding more sophistication in the foundations and how they are being applied. This point highlights the importance of building the foundations of Data Science. This book is dedicated to solutions and discussions of measuring uncertainties in data analysis problems.
