• Understand how to apply useful data analysis techniques in R for real-world applications

• An easy-to-follow guide to make the life of data scientist easier with the problems faced while performing data analysis

Description

This cookbook offers a range of data analysis samples in simple and straightforward R code, providing step-by-step resources and time-saving methods to help you solve data problems efficiently. The first section deals with how to create R functions to avoid the unnecessary duplication of code. You will learn how to prepare, process, and perform sophisticated ETL for heterogeneous data sources with R packages. An example of data manipulation is provided, illustrating how to use the “dplyr” and “data.table” packages to efficiently process larger data structures. We also focus on “ggplot2” and show you how to create advanced figures for data exploration. In addition, you will learn how to build an interactive report using the “ggvis” package. Later chapters offer insight into time series analysis on financial data, while there is detailed information on the hot topic of machine learning, including data classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, and dimension reduction. By the end of this book, you will understand how to resolve issues and will be able to comfortably offer solutions to problems encountered while performing data analysis.

Finally a book for engineering students. After searching 20+ books for Data science with R, finally got it. This book covers almost everything that an engineering student needs during master's or PhD. It covers almost every aspect of data processing like adding, dropping, filtering, merging, shorting and reshaping data set with fantastic libraries like dplyr, data.table and many more. It covers almost every statistical inference and testing techniques such as t-test, ANOVA, Various regression models (Linear, Multiple, Logistic, Step-wise regression etc), Distributions ( Normal, Poison, Binomial etc). This book also covers time series analysis with ARIMA and machine learning for both supervised and unsupervised with k-mean and other clustering techniques. It has one dedicated chapter on plotting functions like ggplot2, ggvis and mapping with spacial data, which provides awesome plots. This book is for all students and data scientist professional those want to explore the statistical characteristics of data sets. This book covers almost every part of data processing using R. The main advantage of this book is that after every code examples it provides detailed description of methodology involved in code. Like for Chi-Square test we can do it in few lines in R, this book provides the step wise code and at the end of the code it describes the theory and equation involved for calculation, which provides a great help for better understanding the underlying concepts.As a PhD scholar in Transportation Engineering, I can say, this is the best book available in market so far for data science with R.
