How to build a data mining architecture in R
Until now, we have been treating the data mining architecture topic at a general level, defining its components and their role within the system; but how do we build such kinds of architecture in R? This is what we are going to discover here. At the end of the paragraph, you will then be able not just to understand how a data mining architecture is composed but even how to build one for your own purposes.
To be clear, we have to specify from the beginning here that we are not going to build a firm-wide data mining architecture, but rather a small architecture like the ones needed to develop your first data mining projects with R. Once this is set, we can proceed with looking at each of the aforementioned components and how to implement them with our beloved R language.
Data sources
As seen earlier, this is where everything begins: the data. R is well-known for being able to treat different kinds of data coming from a great variety of data sources...
