Are you looking forward to get well versed with classifying and clustering data with R? Then this is the perfect course for you!

There’s an increase in the number of data being produced every day which has led to the demand for skilled professionals who can analyze these data and make decisions. R is a programming language and environment used in statistical computing, data analytics and scientific research. Due to its expressive syntax and easy-to-use interface, it has grown in popularity in recent years.

This comprehensive 3-in-1 course takes a practical and incremental approach. Analyze and manage large volumes of data using advanced techniques. Attain a greater understanding of the fundamentals of applied statistics. Load, manipulate, and analyze data from different sources! Develop decision tree model for classification and prediction. Know how to use hierarchical cluster analysis using visualization methods such as Dendrogram and Silhouette plots!

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Learn R programming, covers R programming to create data structures and perform extensive statistical data analysis and synthesis. You’ll work with powerful R tools and techniques. Boost your productivity with the most popular R packages and tackle data structures such as matrices, lists, and factors. Create vectors, handle variables, and perform other core functions. You’ll be able to tackle issues with data input/output and will learn to work with strings and dates. Explore more advanced concepts such as metaprogramming with R and functional programming. Finally, you’ll learn to tackle issues while working with databases and data manipulation.

The second course, Classifying and Clustering Data with R, covers classifying and clustering Data with R. This video course provides the steps you need to carry out classification and clustering with R/RStudio software. You’ll understand hierarchical clustering, non-hierarchical clustering, density-based clustering, and clustering of tweets. It also provides steps to carry out classification using discriminant analysis and decision tree methods.In addition, we cover time-series decomposition, forecasting, clustering, and classification.

By the end the course, you will be well-versed with clustering and classification using Cluster Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, Time-series Analysis, and decision trees.

The third course, Bringing Order to Unstructured Data with R, covers obtaining, cleansing, and visualizing data with R. This video course will demonstrate the steps for analyzing unstructured data with the R/R Studio software.

At the end the video course you’ll have mastered obtaining and visualizing data with R. You’ll also be confident with data cleaning, preparation, and sentiment analysis with R.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to classify as well as cluster data and bring order to unstructured data with R.
