An Introduction to Data Analysis in R: Hands-On Coding, Data Mining, Visualization and Statistics from Scratch: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "An Introduction to Data Analysis in R: Hands-On Coding, Data Mining, Visualization and Statistics from Scratch" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This textbook offers an easy-to-follow, practical guide to modern data analysis using the programming language R. The chapters cover topics such as the fundamentals of programming in R, data collection and preprocessing, including web scraping, data visualization, and statistical methods, including multivariate analysis, and feature exercises at the end of each section. The text requires only basic statistics skills, as it strikes a balance between statistical and mathematical understanding and implementation in R, with a special emphasis on reproducible examples and real-world applications. This textbook is primarily intended for undergraduate students of mathematics, statistics, physics, economics, finance and business who are pursuing a career in data analytics. It will be equally valuable for master students of data science and industry professionals who want to conduct data analyses.

Use R!This series of inexpensive and focused books on R will publish shorter books aimed at practitioners. Books can discuss the use of R in a particular subject area (e.g., epidemiology, econometrics, psychometrics) or as it relates to statistical topics (e.g., missing data, longitudinal data). In most cases, books will combine LaTeX and R so that the code for figures and tables can be put on a website. Authors should assume a background as supplied by Dalgaards Introductory Statistics with R or other introductory books so that each book does not repeat basic material.

Preface

One decade ago, the rise of big data was already a fact and several examples of successful data-driven companies were around. Nonetheless, its true importance and repercussion were still under question by many, especially on whether the new set of tools could be used not only by huge companies but also in a variety of aspects of life that could actually have an impact in society beyond increasing profits for businesses.

Of late, the fact that big data is useful beyond large-scale analysis is taken for granted and, in combination with other advances in mathematics, robotics, automation, and communication, data analysis has consolidated as the cornerstone of every new trend in business and society. Self-driving vehicles, facial recognition, and natural speech processing are some examples of data-driven technologies that are about to change the world (if not already have).

Even though this book does not dive into the latest methods of machine learning so as to understand how exactly a car is able to drive on its own, it is obvious that in this new data-oriented environment, the demand of graduates with proficient skills in the growing field of data analysis has increased notoriously. The need of STEM professionals is clear, but students from other areas such as economy, business, social sciences, or law are equally important as the applications of data analysis affect all sectors of society. Typical STEM programs include courses syllabi with a strong core in mathematics, statistics, or even computing and programming, but it is frequently the case that other degree programs suffer from the lack of quantitative courses.

The archetypal job position in the next decade will require of the candidate to show proficiency in extracting conclusions from data through computing software, no matter the field or area of expertise. Of course, not all of them will be computer engineers or software developers in the strict sense, but they will be required to know the basics of coding to be able to develop data-oriented scripts and techniques to analyze information. This implies the need to prepare alumni from other areas to handle data in their future jobs.

As professors, we have detected an increasing interest in data analysis from our colleagues coming from areas other than mathematics. Undergraduate students also express their desire to take extra credits in data-related subjects. Moreover, from our links to industry, we have been encouraged to instruct our students in analytical skills to face the era of data change. It is time to rethink undergraduate programs, especially in social sciences, and include courses addressing these kinds of competencies.

This text is conceived from the perspective of enabling students with no knowledge of data science to start their path in statistical computer-aided analysis with a broad scope. The book is the result on the one hand of our academic experience teaching in several undergraduate courses on business management, economics, business intelligence, and other master programs for the last years and, on the other hand, from our professional views as data scientists. It features the basics of programming and a series of mathematical and statistical tools that lead the reader from scratch to understanding the analysis of a database throughout the whole process of obtainment, preparation, study, and presentation of conclusions.
