In this chapter, we defined, for the purposes of this book, what constitutes the IoT. We also defined what is meant by the term analytics when we use it here. We discussed special challenges that come with IoT data from volume of data to issues with time and space that are not normally a concern with internal company datasets. You should have a good idea of the scope of the book and the challenges that you will learn to overcome in the later chapters.

You're reading from Analytics for the Internet of Things (IoT)
Andrew Minteer is currently the senior director, data science and research at a leading global retail company. Prior to that, he served as the director, IoT Analytics and Machine Learning at a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. He has an MBA from Indiana University with a background in statistics, software development, database design, cloud architecture, and has led analytics teams for over 10 years. He first taught himself to program on an Atari 800 computer at the age of 11 and fondly remembers the frustration of waiting through 20 minutes of beeps and static to load a 100-line program. He now thoroughly enjoys launching a 1 TB GPU-backed cloud instance in a few minutes and getting right to work. Andrew is a private pilot who looks forward to spending some time in the air sometime soon. He enjoys kayaking, camping, traveling the world, and playing around with his six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.
