Riassunto

“We live in the age of data. In the last few years, the methodology of extracting insights from data or "data science" has emerged as a discipline in its own right. The R programming language has become one-stop solution for all types of data analysis. The growing popularity of R is due its statistical roots and a vast open source package library.
The goal of “Beginning Data Science with R” is to introduce the readers to some of the useful data science techniques and their implementation with the R programming language. The book attempts to strike a balance between the how: specific processes and methodologies, and understanding the why: going over the intuition behind how a particular technique works, so that the reader can apply it to the problem at hand. This book will be useful for readers who are not familiar with statistics and the R programming language.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Data Science with R deals with implementing many useful data analysis methodologies with the R programming language. The target audience for this book is non-R programmers and non-statisticians. The book will cover all the necessary concepts from the basics to state-of-the-art technologies like working with big data. The author attempts to strike a balance between the how : specific processes and methodologies, while also talking about the why : giving an intuition behind how a particular technique works, so that the reader can apply the generalized solution to the problem at hand.
