About This BookProficiently analyze data and apply machine learning techniquesGenerate visualizations, develop interactive visualizations and applications to understand various data exploratory functions in RConstruct a predictive model by using a variety of machine learning packagesWho This Book Is ForThis Learning Path is ideal for those who have been exposed to R, but have not used it extensively yet. It covers the basics of using R and is written for new and intermediate R users interested in learning. This Learning Path also provides in-depth insights into professional techniques for analysis, visualization, and machine learning with R — it will help you increase your R expertise, regardless of your level of experience.
What You Will LearnGet data into your R environment and prepare it for analysisPerform exploratory data analyses and generate meaningful visualizations of the dataGenerate various plots in R using the basic R plotting techniquesCreate presentations and learn the basics of creating apps in R for your audienceCreate and inspect the transaction dataset, performing association analysis with the Apriori algorithmVisualize associations in various graph formats and find frequent itemset using the ECLAT algorithmBuild, tune, and evaluate predictive models with different machine learning packagesIncorporate R and Hadoop to solve machine learning problems on big dataIn DetailThe R language is a powerful, open source, functional programming language. At its core, R is a statistical programming language that provides impressive tools to analyze data and create high-level graphics. This Learning Path is chock-full of recipes. Literally! It aims to excite you with awesome projects focused on analysis, visualization, and machine learning. We'll start off with data analysis — this will show you ways to use R to generate professional analysis reports. We'll then move on to visualizing our data — this provides you with all the guidance needed to get comfortable with data visualization with R. Finally, we'll move into the world of machine learning — this introduces you to data classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, and dimension reduction.
