Data analysis is crucial to accurately predict the performance of an application. The course begins by getting you started with R, including basic programming and data import, data visualization, pivoting, merging, aggregating, and joins. Once you are comfortable with the basics, you will read ahead and learn all about data visualization and graphics. You will learn data management techniques such as pivots, aggregations, and dealing with missing values. With this various case studies and examples, this course gives you the knowledge to confidently start your career in the field of data science.
This is a hands-on guide that walks you through concepts with examples using built-in R data. Every topic is enriched with a supporting example that highlights the concept, followed by activities that will gradually build into a full data science project to showcase skills learned. You will perform an end-to-end analysis, starting a data science portfolio.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
