Introduction to R programming & RStudio for beginners - with practical exercises

(Please note: this course is a basic introduction to R and RStudio, meant for beginner level. More advanced courses coming soon.)

R is currently one of the most requested programming languages in the Data Science job market that makes it the hottest trend nowadays.

R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing, data manipulation & analysis, graphics representation and reporting supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.

No one is born a data scientist. Every person who works with R today was once a complete beginner. No matter how much you know about the R ecosystem already, you’ll always have more to learn.

Applications of R:

    We use R for Data Science. It gives us a broad variety of libraries related to statistics. It also provides the environment for statistical computing and design.

    R is used by many quantitative analysts as its programming tool. Thus, it helps in data importing and cleaning.

    R is the most prevalent language. So many data analysts and research programmers use it. Hence, it is used as a fundamental tool for finance.

    Tech giants like Google, Facebook, bing, Accenture, Wipro and many more using R nowadays.

Why R Programming Language?

    R programming is used as a leading tool for machine learning, statistics, and data analysis. Objects, functions, and packages can easily be created by R.

    It’s a platform-independent language. This means it can be applied to all operating system.

    It’s an open-source free language. That means anyone can install it in any organization without purchasing a license.

    R programming language is not only a statistic package but also allows us to integrate with other languages (C, C++). Thus, you can easily interact with many data sources and statistical packages.

    The R programming language has a vast community of users and it’s growing day by day.

Statistical Features of R:

    Basic Statistics: The most common basic statistics terms are the mean, mode, and median. These are all known as “Measures of Central Tendency.” So using the R language we can measure central tendency very easily.

    Static graphics: R is rich with facilities for creating and developing interesting static graphics. R contains functionality for many plot types including graphic maps, mosaic plots, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqtYZ7aHXvM
