Part 6: Applications

The preceding parts and chapters merely provided prerequisites for various applications of data science.

This part contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 19 introduces the notion of modeling;

• Chapter 20 introduces basic simulations;

• Chapter 21 introduces dynamic simulations;

• Chapter 22 introduces models and simulations in the context of social situations;

• Chapter 23 introduces predictive models; and

• Chapter 24 discusses some options for using R for generative art.

Although most of these chapters are rather sketchy, this is where the real fun begins.
