An introduction to IoT Analytics
Harry G. PerrosThis book covers techniques that can be used to analyze data from IoT
sensors and addresses questions regarding the performance of an IoT system. It
strikes a balance between practice and theory so one can learn how to apply
these tools in practice with a good understanding of their inner workings. This
is an introductory book for readers who have no familiarity with these
techniques.
The techniques presented in An Introduction to IoT Analytics come from
the areas of machine learning, statistics, and operations research. Machine
learning techniques are described that can be used to analyze IoT data
generated from sensors for clustering, classification, and regression. The statistical
techniques described can be used to carry out regression and forecasting of IoT
sensor data and dimensionality reduction of data sets. Operations research is
concerned with the performance of an IoT system by constructing a model of the
system under study and then carrying out a what-if analysis. The book also
describes simulation techniques.
