Course details
R is one of the most comprehensible statistical tool for managing and manipulating data. With the ever increasing number of data, there is a very high demand of professionals who have got skills to analyze these data. If you're looking forward to becoming an expert data analyst, then go for this Learning Path.
Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
The highlights of this Learning Path are:
- Manipulate and analyze small and large sets of data with R
- Practice with real-world examples of data analysis and visualization
Let's take a quick look at your learning journey! This Learning Path begins with familiarizing you with the programming and statistics aspects of R. You will learn how CRAN works and why to use it. Acquire the ability to conduct data analysis in practical contexts with R, using core language packages and tools. You will then generate various plots in R using the basic R plotting techniques. Learn how to make plots, charts, and maps in step-by-step manner. Utilize R packages to add context and meaning to your data.
Moving ahead, the Learning Path will gradually take you through creating interactive maps using the googleVis package. Finally, you will generate chloropleth maps and contouring maps, bubble plots, and pie charts.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will be equipped with all data analysis and visualization techniques and build a strong foundation for moving into data science.
