For engineers trained in first-principles analysis, most available resources make that gap harder to close rather than easier. General statistics and machine learning texts are written for computer scientists and rarely connect to engineering measurement data or notation, while many practical guides skip the underlying mathematics entirely, leaving a result you can run but cannot fully explain, defend, or trust in front of a supervisor, a client, or a safety review.
This comprehensive, practical handbook was written to close that specific gap. It develops data-driven methods as a genuine complement to classical engineering analysis, not a replacement for it, building every method from stated assumptions through a complete derivation rather than a formula to memorize, and grounding every technique in fully worked engineering examples with complete, checkable calculations.
Working through this handbook, you will learn how to:
• Judge, using a clear framework, whether a given engineering problem is actually a good candidate for data-driven methods, or whether classical first-principles analysis remains the right tool
• Build the probability, statistics, linear algebra, and matrix foundations that every later method in this handbook relies on, so no technique is ever a black box
• Clean, explore, and visualize real engineering data, then fit regression models, including ridge and lasso regularization, with a full understanding of every diagnostic and evaluation metric
• Reduce dimensionality with principal component analysis and the singular value decomposition, and uncover hidden structure with clustering and classification methods, evaluated with a confusion matrix, precision, recall, and the ROC curve
• Rigorously validate any fitted model using cross-validation, learning curves, and the bias-variance tradeoff, so you know how far to trust a result before you use it
• Build neural networks from a single artificial neuron upward, train them with gradient descent, momentum, and adaptive optimization methods, and understand backpropagation as the chain rule applied to a computational graph
• Extend data-driven methods to physical and engineering systems through surrogate and reduced-order models, hybrid physics-plus-data approaches, and digital twins, then responsibly quantify and communicate a deployed model's prediction uncertainty
Across fifteen cumulative chapters, complete with fully worked examples, practice problems with verified answers, a full notation table, and a formula and algorithm reference, this handbook is built to be read once and used as a working reference for years afterward.
This book is written for practicing engineers, applied scientists, and engineering graduate students and advanced undergraduates who already trust classical, first-principles engineering analysis and want a mathematically rigorous, genuinely practical path into the data-driven methods now used alongside it.
Open this handbook and start building the kind of rigorous, defensible understanding of data-driven engineering that turns a technique you recognize into one you can actually trust and apply.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
We ship your order after we received them
for articles on hand latest 24 hours,
for articles with overnight supply latest 48 hours.
In case we need to order an article from our supplier our dispatch time depends on the reception date of the articles, but the articles will be shipped on the same day.
Our goal is to send the ordered articles in the fastest, but also most efficient and secure way to our customers.
