Synopsis

Designed by a committee of more than a dozen brilliant researchers, Haskell is one of the fastest growing languages in terms of both usage and popularity. A powerful functional programming language with a strong type system and parallelism support, Haskell is just the tool for harnessing the patterns behind the corpus of data.

The Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook provides recipes covering every stage of the data analysis process. Whether obtaining and cleaning data, performing real-time analysis, or finding the best forms of visualization the book provides focused and practical advice on using Haskell as the best tool for the job.

Topics covered include reading and accessing data from a variety of file formats, cleaning the data for analysis, constructing tree data structures, clustering, and graphing and visualizing the products of your analysis.
