Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Many of the most consequential problems in modern engineering do not have a governing equation an engineer can simply write down and solve. A jet engine's turbulent combustion, a power grid's aggregate demand, a rolling mill's surface-finish variability, a biological process's yield sensitivity: the physics behind each is real, but it is either incompletely understood, too complex to resolve directly, or too expensive to compute at the speed a real engineering decision requires. For engineers trained in first-principles analysis, most available resources make that gap harder to close rather than easier. General statistics and machine learning texts are written for computer scientists and rarely connect to engineering measurement data or notation, while many practical guides skip the underlying mathematics entirely, leaving a result you can run but cannot fully explain, defend, or trust in front of a supervisor, a client, or a safety review. This comprehensive, practical handbook was written to close that specific gap. It develops data-driven methods as a genuine complement to classical engineering analysis, not a replacement for it, building every method from stated assumptions through a complete derivation rather than a formula to memorize, and grounding every technique in fully worked engineering examples with complete, checkable calculations. Working through this handbook, you will learn how to: - Judge, using a clear framework, whether a given engineering problem is actually a good candidate for data-driven methods, or whether classical first-principles analysis remains the right tool- Build the probability, statistics, linear algebra, and matrix foundations that every later method in this handbook relies on, so no technique is ever a black box- Clean, explore, and visualize real engineering data, then fit regression models, including ridge and lasso regularization, with a full understanding of every diagnostic and evaluation metric- Reduce dimensionality with principal component analysis and the singular value decomposition, and uncover hidden structure with clustering and classification methods, evaluated with a confusion matrix, precision, recall, and the ROC curve- Rigorously validate any fitted model using cross-validation, learning curves, and the bias-variance tradeoff, so you know how far to trust a result before you use it- Build neural networks from a single artificial neuron upward, train them with gradient descent, momentum, and adaptive optimization methods, and understand backpropagation as the chain rule applied to a computational graph- Extend data-driven methods to physical and engineering systems through surrogate and reduced-order models, hybrid physics-plus-data approaches, and digital twins, then responsibly quantify and communicate a deployed model's prediction uncertainty Across fifteen cumulative chapters, complete with fully worked examples, practice problems with verified answers, a full notation table, and a formula and algorithm reference, this handbook is built to be read once and used as a working reference for years afterward. This book is written for practicing engineers, applied scientists, and engineering graduate students and advanced undergraduates who already trust classical, first-principles engineering analysis and want a mathematically rigorous, genuinely practical path into the data-driven methods now used alongside it. Open this handbook and start building the kind of rigorous, defensible understanding of data-driven engineering that turns a technique you recognize into one you can actually trust and apply.
