Preface

We are here to help you learn Python for marketing research and analytics. Python is a great choice for marketing analysts. It offers advanced capabilities for fitting statistical models. It is extensible and is able to process data from many different systems, in a variety of forms, for both small and large datasets. The Python ecosystem includes a vast range of established and emerging statistical methods as well as visualization techniques. Yet its use in marketing lags other fields such as econometrics, bioinformatics, and computer science. With your help, we hope to change that! This book is designed for two audiences: practicing marketing researchers and analysts who want to learn Python and students or researchers from other fields who want to review selected marketing topics in a Python context. What are the prerequisites? Simply that you are interested in Python for marketing, are conceptually familiar with basic statistical models such as linear regression, and are willing to engage in hands-on learning. This book will be particularly helpful to analysts who have some degree of programming experience and wish to learn Python. In Chap. 1, we describe additional
