From the list of books below relating data analysis to the real world, please write a critical review of a chapter of one of the books. Please address the following in your review.
- What are the main idea(s) in the chapter?
- How does the author(s) structure the argument to support the main idea(s) in the chapter. Is argument based on analogies, factual, etc?
- What specific support does the author(s) give to support the main idea(s). This question is different from the above question. The above question asks what is the structure of the argument, and this question asks what evidence is used to support the structure of the argument.
- In your opinion, do you feel the author has provided a satisfactory argument to justify the conclusion? What do you think are the weaknesses of the argument? What are the strengths?.
