R: Complete Data Analysis Solutions




R: Complete Data Analysis Solutions

If you are looking for that one course that includes everything about data analysis with R, this is it. Let’s get on this data analysis journey together.

This course is a blend of text, videos, code examples, and assessments, which together makes your learning journey all the more exciting and truly rewarding. It includes sections that form a sequential flow of concepts covering a focused learning path presented in a modular manner. This helps you learn a range of topics at your own speed and also move towards your goal of solving data analysis problems with R.

The R language is a powerful open source functional programming language. R is becoming the go-to tool for data scientists and analysts. Its growing popularity is due to its open source nature and extensive development community. R is increasingly being used by experienced data science professionals instead of Python and it will remain the top choice for data scientists in 2017. Big companies continue to use R for their data science needs and this course will make you ready for when these opportunities come your way.

This course has been prepared using extensive research and curation skills. Each section adds to the skills learned and helps us to achieve mastery of data analysis. Every section is modular and can be used as a standalone resource.

This course has been designed to include topics on every possible requirement from a data scientist and it does so in a step-by-step and practical manner. This course covers step-by-step and practical solutions to data analysis using R. It covers every required topic and also adds an introduction to machine learning.

We will start off with learning how to prepare, process, and perform sophisticated ETL for heterogeneous data sources with R packages. An example of data manipulation will be provided, illustrating how to use the “dplyr” and “data.table” packages to efficiently process larger data structures. We will then understand how easily R can confront probability and statistics problems and look at R instructions to quickly organize and manipulate large datasets. We will then learn to predict user purchase behavior by adopting a classification approach and implement data mining techniques to discover items that are frequently purchased together. Finally, we will offer insight into time series analysis on financial data, after which there will be detailed information on the hot topic of machine learning, including data classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, and dimension reduction.
