I would like to thank the reviewers who took the time to provide excellent insights, which helped shape this book. I wish to thank many people who have helped to make this book a reality. I have benefitted from numerous authors and researchers and their excellent work in the areas of data science and analytics.

I would especially like to thank Mr. Karun Mehta, a friend and engineer whom I miss so much.
