Shiny App Web Development with R Training Course

Big Data is a term that refers to solutions destined for storing and processing large data sets. Developed by Google initially, these Big Data solutions have evolved and inspired other similar projects, many of which are available as open-source. R is a popular programming language in the financial industry.

R is an open-source free programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. R is used by a growing number of managers and data analysts inside corporations and academia. R has also found followers among statisticians, engineers and scientists without computer programming skills who find it easy to use. Its popularity is due to the increasing use of data mining for various goals such as set ad prices, find new drugs more quickly or fine-tune financial models. R has a wide variety of packages for data mining.

R is a very popular, open source environment for statistical computing, data analytics and graphics. This course introduces R programming language to students.  It covers language fundamentals, libraries and advanced concepts.  Advanced data analytics and graphing with real world data.
