Data Science Foundations Tools and Techniques

Core Skills for Quantitative Analysis with R and Git

Beschreibung

Leading instructors Michael Freeman and Joel Ross guide readers through installing and configuring the tools needed to solve professional-level data science problems, including the widely used R language and Git version-control system. They explain how to wrangle data into a form where it can be easily used, analyzed, and visualized so others can see the patterns you’ve uncovered. Step by step, students will master powerful R programming techniques and troubleshooting skills for probing data in new ways, and at larger scales.   Freeman and Ross teach through practical examples and exercises that can be combined into complete data science projects. Everything’s focused on real-world application, so students can quickly start analyzing their own data and getting answers they can act upon.
