Publisher's Synopsis
These days, businesses are collecting massive amounts of data. But this data isnt valuable until someone analyzes it to gain insights that can be used to make decisions. Thats why the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that the demand for data analysts will continue to grow for the rest of the decade. Now, with Murachs R for Data Analysis as a guide, you can learn the R skills you need to become a data analyst, and you can learn them faster and better than ever before. Thanks to its unique paired-pages format this book works equally well if youre new to programming or if youre an experienced programmer. Youll get started fast by learning only the parts of the R language that you need for data analysis. Then, youll learn how to use R with the tidyverse package to get, clean, prepare, analyze, and visualize data at a professional level. By the end of this book, youll be creating linear regression models and classification models and using them to make predictions. This book contains three realistic analyses that use real-world data. Thats because we believe that studying analyses like these is critical to the learning process. Mike Murach & Associates has been publishing high-quality books about computer programming since 1972.
