Skill Level Beginner Intermediate Advanced What You Will Learn Installing R Basic math Working with variables and different data types Matrix algebra data.frames Reading data Data aggregation and manipulation plyr dplyr Making statistical graphs Manipulate text Automat.. 15+ Hours of Video Instruction R Programming Data Analyst Learning Path , is a tour through the most important parts of R, the statistical programming language, from the very basics to complex modeling. It covers reading data, programming basics, visualization, data munging, regression, classification, clustering, modern machine learning, network analysis, web graphics, and techniques for dealing with large data, both in memory and in databases. Description This 15-hour video teaches you how to program in R even if you are unfamiliar with statistical techniques. It starts with the basics of using R and progresses into data manipulation and model building. Users learn through hands-on practice with the code and techniques. New material covers chaining commands, faster data manipulation, new ways to read rectangular data into R, testing code, and the hot package Shiny. |
