Learn R programming

Course details

R is a high-level statistical language and is widely used among statisticians and data miners to develop statistical applications. This solution-based video will be your guide, taking you through different programming aspects with R.

Beginning with the basics of R programming, this video provides step-by-step resources and time-saving methods to help you solve programming problems efficiently. Starting with the installation of R, each recipe addresses a specific problem with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works.

You will learn to work with powerful R tools and techniques. Youll be able to boost your productivity with the most popular R packages and tackle data structures such as matrices, lists, and factors. Youll see how to create vectors, handle variables, and perform other core functions. Youll be able to tackle issues with data input/output and will learn to work with strings and dates.

Moving forward, well look into more advanced concepts such as metaprogramming with R and functional programming. Finally, youll learn to tackle issues while working with databases and data manipulation.
