Certificate in R Programming

Course details

R is a statistical programming language that allows you to build probabilistic models, perform data science, and build machine learning algorithms. R has a great package ecosystem that
enables developers to conduct data visualization to data analysis.

Why should one take R Programming Certification?
This online course covers advanced-level concepts in R programming and demonstrates industry best practices. This is an advanced R course with an intensive focus on machine learning concepts in depth and applying them in the real world with ; 

The course starts off with pre-model-building activities such as univariate and bivariate analysis, outlier detection, and missing value treatment featuring the mice package. Then we take a look at linear, non-linear regression modeling and classification models, and will check out the math behind the working of classification ;

Who will benefit from taking this certification?
Job seekers looking for employment in various IT companies, PSUs or MNCs. Certification in R Programming will benefit data science professionals, data analyst and students who want to learn R programming.

By the end of the course, you will have a solid knowledge of machine learning and the R language itself. You’ll also solve numerous coding challenges throughout the course.
