Overview of this book

R is the most widely used programming language, and when used in association with data science, this powerful combination will solve the complexities involved with unstructured datasets in the real world. This book covers the entire data science ecosystem for aspiring data scientists, right from zero to a level where you are confident enough to get hands-on with real-world data science problems. The book starts with an introduction to data science and introduces readers to popular R libraries for executing data science routine tasks. This book covers all the important processes in data science such as data gathering, cleaning data, and then uncovering patterns from it. You will explore algorithms such as machine learning algorithms, predictive analytical models, and finally deep learning algorithms. You will learn to run the most powerful visualization packages available in R so as to ensure that you can easily derive insights from your data. Towards the end, you will also learn how to integrate R with Spark and Hadoop and perform large-scale data analytics without much complexity.

Summary

The intentions of this chapter were to introduce readers to measures of central tendency, dispersion, and statistical hypothesis testing. While the arithmetic mean, median, and mode are the most popular measures of central tendency, t-tests and z-tests may be the most popular statistical tests used. This chapter also taught you how to design your own function to run a z-test, and how to recover it from local files or the cloud. A/B tests were also covered.

In the next chapter, we will cover what data wrangling is and how to use it in R.
