The first edition of the textbook Data Science and Predictive Analytics: Biomedical and Health Applications using R, authored by Ivo D. Dinov, was published in August 2018 by Springer.[1] The second edition of the book was printed in 2023.[2]

This textbook covers some of the core mathematical foundations, computational techniques, and artificial intelligence approaches used in data science research and applications.[3]

By using the statistical computing platform R and a broad range of biomedical case-studies, the 23 chapters of the book first edition provide explicit examples of importing, exporting, processing, modeling, visualizing, and interpreting large, multivariate, incomplete, heterogeneous, longitudinal, and incomplete datasets (big data).[4]

  5. Supervised Classification
  6. Black Box Machine Learning Methods
  7. Qualitative Learning Methods—Text Mining, Natural Language Processing, and Apriori Association Rules Learning
  8. Unsupervised Clustering
  9. Model Performance Assessment, Validation, and Improvement
  10. Specialized Machine Learning Topics
  11. Variable Importance and Feature Selection
  12. Big Longitudinal Data Analysis
  13. Function Optimization
  14. Deep Learning, Neural Networks

Reception

The materials in the Data Science and Predictive Analytics (DSPA) textbook have been peer-reviewed in the Journal of the American Statistical Association,[5] International Statistical Institute’s ISI Review Journal,[3] and the Journal of the American Library Association.[4] Many scholarly publications reference the DSPA textbook.[6][7]

As of January 17, 2021, the electronic version of the book first edition (<templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>ISBN 978-3-319-72347-1) is freely available on SpringerLink[8] and has been downloaded over 6 million times. The textbook is globally available in print (hardcover and softcover) and electronic formats (PDF and EPub) in many college and university libraries[9] and has been used for data science, computational statistics, and analytics classes at various institutions.[10]
