The Statistics and Machine Learning with R Workshop

Getting Started with R

In this chapter, we will cover the basics of R, the most widely used open source language for statistical analysis and modeling. We will start with an introduction to RStudio, how to perform simple calculations, the common data structures and control logic, and how to write functions in R.

By the end of the chapter, you will be able to do basic computations in R using common data structures such as vectors, lists and data frames in the RStudio integrated development environment (IDE). You will also be able to wrap these calculations in functions using different methods.

In this chapter, we will cover the following:

  • Introducing R
  • Covering the R and RStudio basics
  • Common data structures in R
  • Control logic in R
  • Exploring functions in R

Technical requirements

To complete the exercises in this chapter, you will need to have the following:

  • The latest version of R, which is 4.1.2 at the time of writing
  • The latest version of RStudio Desktop, which is 2021.09.2+382

I have received this book from Packt to provide my review. The book has a good R foundation for those who are not familiar with the Language. It also brings a couple of Math/ Algebra/ Calculus chapters that don't have very strong application examples, but it's interesting and well explained.The Stats portion in the last part is very good, with many regression examples.Great book.

The combination of a little bit of theory and practical examples makes this book a good introduction to the use of R for statistical analysis and machine learning. The examples are clear and easy to follow as the required R packages are clearly stated at the beginning of each chapter.

This book is an excellent introduction for early-career data scientists and undergraduate students with a basic grasp of linear algebra and modeling. It starts with the essentials of R programming, focusing on key data structures and logical operations. The journey continues with data processing techniques using dplyr, covering transformations and aggregations. The reader is then guided through more complex data processing and quality enhancement methods. Data visualization is masterfully explained through ggplot2, from elementary to sophisticated techniques. The book also delves into exploratory data analysis, R Markdown for interactive documents, and advanced topics such as linear algebra, calculus in R, probability, statistical estimation, and regression models, finishing with Bayesian statistics. This comprehensive guide is invaluable for practical R applications in data science, though readers may long for a Python version.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
