Do you want to step into the ever-growing field of data science? Do you wish to equip yourself with one of the most widely used language for data science? Packts Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. Data is on the rise and its the need of the hour to process it and make sense out it. Analysts and statisticians need to get this job done. Its an art to tactfully and efficiently process data. But, as it goes an art becomes a reality only with the help of right tools and the knowledge of using these right. So, it is with data science. R is a powerful language that provides with all the tools required to build probabilistic models, perform data science, and build machine learning algorithms. With this Learning Path, youll be introduced to R Studio and the basics of R. Then, youll taken through a number of topics such as handling dates with the lubridate package, handling strings with the stringr package, and making statistical inferences. Finally, the focus will be on machine learning concepts in depth and applying them in the real world with R. The goal of this course to introduce you to R and have a solid knowledge of machine learning and the R language itself. Youll also solve numerous coding challenges throughout the course. This Learning Path is authored by one of the best in the fields. Selva Prabhakaran Selva Prabhakaran is a data scientist with a large E-commerce organization.
