This book is the ideal introduction to data science with Microsoft SQL Server and In-Database ML Services. It covers all stages of a data science project, from businessand data understanding,through data overview, data preparation, modeling and using algorithms, model evaluation, and deployment.

You will learn to use the engines and languages that come with SQL Server, including ML Services with R and Python languages and Transact-SQL. You will also learn how to choose which algorithm to use for which task, and learn the working of each algorithm.

What you will learn:

Use the popular programming languages,T-SQL, R, and Python, for data science
Understand your data with queries and introductory statistics
Create and enhance the datasets for ML
Visualize and analyze data using basic and advanced graphs
Explore ML using unsupervised and supervised models
Deploy models in SQL Server and perform predictions

SQL Server professionals who want to start with data science, and data scientists who would like to start using SQL Server in their projects will find this book to be useful. Prior exposure to SQL Server will be helpful.
