Reviews / Votes
"Even though textual data science cannot be considered as the youngest sibling of other data science fields, there is still quite a big space to be filled with up-to-date textbooks describing and analyzing various methods and facets of this very interesting topic. In this book, Monica Becue-Bertaut tries to fill this gap, giving theoretical and practical instructions about one of the relatively little known, but powerful methods in textual data science-Correspondence Analysis (CA)... Extensive graphical images and visualizations represented by various types of plot and diagram are used throughout the material, which provides an even better aid to the readerfor grasping the main ideas of the topic... separate mention should be drawn to the language used in the book. It is clear, simple, and even fun to read, providing an
understandable way of covering complex topics... Monica Becue-Bertaut achieved a good blend of theory and practice in her book, which can be used as a handy resource for students and beginners in data science, as well as for specialists in textual data analysis."
