Programming using R


R programming language is popular among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. R Training has picked up a lot of popularity in recent years and there is a lot of demand for R Language Training.

Objectives

  • Master the use of the R and RStudio interactive environment
  • Expand R by installing R packages
  • Read Structured Data into R from various sources
  • Understand the different data structures in R
  • Understand how to create and manipulate dates in R
  • Use the tidyverse collection of packages to manipulate dataframes
  • Write user-defined R functions
  • Write Loop constructs in R
  • Use the apply family of functions to iterate functions across data
  • Expand iteration and programming through the Purrr package
  • Reshape data from long to wide and back to support different analyses
  • Perform merge operations with R
  • Understand split-apply-combine (group-wise operations) in R
  • Identify and deal with missing data
  • Manipulate strings in R
  • Understand basic regular expressions in R
