Course description
Big Data Mini Camp | R Programming Basics for Data Science
R is a functional programming environment for business analysts and data scientists. It's a language that many non-programmers can easily work with, naturally extending a skill set that is common to high-end Excel users. It's the perfect tool for when the analyst has a statistical, numerical, or probabilities-based problem based on real data and they've pushed Excel past its limits.
R Programming for Data Scientists & Analysts is a comprehensive hands-on course that presents common scenarios encountered in analysis and present practical solutions. In this course, special attention is paid to data science theory including AI grouping theory. A discussion of using R with AI libraries like Madlib are included.
Course Objectives: What You’ll Learn
This course provides indoctrination in the practical use of the umbrella of technologies that are on the leading edge of data science development focused on R and related tools. Working in a hands-on learning environment, led by our expert practitioner, students will learn R and its ecosystem, and where it’s a better a tool than Excel
