Data Science and Machine Learning with R from A-Z Course [Updated for 2021]

Video description

The course covers practical issues in statistical computing that include programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting on R code. Blending practical work with solid theoretical training, we take you from the basics of R programming to mastery.

We understand that theory is important to build a solid foundation, we also understand that theory alone isn’t going to get the job done so that’s why this course is packed with practical hands-on examples that you can follow step by step. Even if you already have some coding experience, or want to learn about the advanced features of the R programming language, this course is for you!

R coding experience is either required or recommended in job postings for data scientists, machine learning engineers, big data engineers, IT specialists, database developers, and much more. Adding R coding language skills to your resume will help you in any one of these data specializations requiring mastery of statistical techniques.

By the end of the course, you’ll be a professional data scientist with R and confidently apply for jobs and will feel good knowing that you have the skills and knowledge to back it up.

What You Will Learn
