Beginning Data Science with R (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"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.
