Learn how to program by diving into the R language, and then use your
newfound skills to solve practical data science problems. With this book,
you’ll learn how to load data, assemble and disassemble data objects,
navigate R’s environment system, write your own functions, and use all of
R’s programming tools.
RStudio Master Instructor Garrett Grolemund not only teaches you how to
program, but also shows you how to get more from R than just visualizing
and modeling data. You’ll gain valuable programming skills and support
your work as a data scientist at the same time.
■ Work hands-on with three practical data analysis projects
based on casino games
■ Store, retrieve, and change data values in your computer’s
memory
■ Write programs and simulations that outperform those written
by typical R users
■ Use R programming tools such as if else statements, for loops,
and S3 classes
■ Learn how to write lightning-fast vectorized R code
■ Take advantage of R’s package system and debugging tools
■ Practice and apply R programming concepts as you learn them
Garrett Grolemund is a statistician, teacher, and R developer who works as a
data scientist and Master Instructor at RStudio. Garrett received his PhD at Rice
University, where his research traced the origins of data analysis as a cognitive
process and identified how attentional and epistemological concerns guide every
data analysis.
