Product Description
by Thomas Kurnicki (Author)
This book is created for students and working professionals that are at the beginning of their journey with R. Prior experience or education in statistics or skills in another programming language is a "good-to-have" as this book will explain basic data manipulation, modeling, and programming frameworks. However, this book takes the reader from step one so that anyone, even without prior experience, can understand the content.
Each chapter will outline basic concepts and challenges and provide countless examples and exercises for each topic. It is highly recommended to follow the order of chapters as further chapters require understanding of the previous content. At the end of this book, the user should be able to create web applications and dashboards in Shiny.
Some readers might be disappointed due to the limited usage of buzz-words. "Machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence" are avoided at all cost. Instead, the reader will receive a better understanding of basic programming concepts and will be exposed to more exercises and hands-on examples.
