Description
R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics that is widely used among statisticians and data miners for data analysis. In this course, you'll get a thorough run-through of how R works and how it's applied to data science. Before you know it, you'll be crunching numbers like a pro, and be better qualified for many lucrative careers.- Access 82 lectures & 9 hours of content 24/7
- Cover basic statistical principles like mean, median, range, etc.
