Explains how to execute computationally intensive analysis on very large data sets. This book shows readers how to determine some of the best methods for solving a variety of different problems, how to create and debug statistical models, and how to run an analysis and evaluate the results. "This book presents an original, cheap and powerful solution to the problem of analysis of large data sets. . . . The book is devoted mainly to the practitioner of Statistics, but is also useful to mathematicians, computer scientists, researchers and students in the biology, economics and social sciences."---Radu Trimbitas, StudiaUBB
