In Detail

With organizations increasingly embedding data science across their enterprise and with management becoming more data-driven it is an urgent requirement for analysts and managers to understand the key concept of data science. The data science concepts discussed in this book will help you make key decisions and solve the complex problems you will inevitably face in this new world.

R Data Science Essentials will introduce you to various important concepts in the field of data science using R. We start by reading data from multiple sources, then move on to processing the data, extracting hidden patterns, building predictive and forecasting models, building a recommendation engine, and communicating to the user through stunning visualizations and dashboards.

By the end of this book, you will have an understanding of some very important techniques in data science, be able to implement them using R, understand and interpret the outcomes, and know how they helps businesses make a decision.

Style and approach

This easy-to-follow guide contains hands-on examples of the concepts of data science using R.

Chapter 1. Getting Started with R

R is one of the most popular programming languages used in computation statistics, data visualization, and data science. With the increasing number of companies becoming data-driven, the user base of R is also increasing fast. R is supported by over two million users worldwide.

In this book, you will learn how to use R to load data from different sources, carry out fundamental data manipulation techniques, extract the hidden patterns in data through exploratory data analysis, and build complex predictive as well as forecasting models. Finally, you will learn to visualize and communicate the data analysis to the audience. This book is aimed at beginners and intermediate users of R, taking them through the most important techniques in data science that will help them start their data scientist journey.

In this chapter, we will be covering the basic concepts of R such as reading data from different sources, understanding the data format, learning about the preprocessing techniques, and performing basic arithmetic and string operations.
