Book Description
Data Science Finds the Signal. Engineering Turns It into Business Value.

Moving a model from a Jupyter Notebook to a production system requires engineering discipline, not just data science skills. Predictive Analytics with Python is the definitive guide for the engineering-first era of data science, helping you transition from fragile notebook workflows to resilient, production-ready predictive systems built for real-world infrastructure.

You begin by replacing slow legacy workflows with a modern technical stack, high-performance ETL with Polars, data contract enforcement with Pandera, and resilient Scikit-Learn and XGBoost pipelines with rigorous feature engineering, cross-validation, and experiment tracking using MLflow. The book then advances into time-series forecasting with Nixtla before covering model serialisation, REST API deployment with FastAPI, Docker containerisation, and production monitoring as well as governance.

The book culminates in an end-to-end capstone project building an enterprise-grade Automated Real Estate Valuation Model. By the end, you will engineer predictive systems that prioritize stability, auditability, and transformative business value.

What you will learn
● Transition fragile notebook workflows into robust production-grade software engineering practices.
● Execute high-performance ETL and data processing using the Polars library at scale.
● Enforce rigorous data contracts using Pandera to validate pipeline inputs automatically.
● Build resilient predictive pipelines using Scikit-Learn and XGBoost with production patterns.
● Automate hyperparameter tuning and track model experiments using MLflow effectively.
