Learning Data Mining with R [Video]

By: Romeo Kienzler

Overview of this book

<p>Data mining is a growing demand on the market as the world is generating data at an increasing pace. R is a popular programming language for statistics. It can be used for day-to-day data analysis tasks.</p> <p>Data mining is a very broad topic and takes some time to learn. This course will help you to understand the mathematical basics quickly, and then you can directly apply what you’ve learned in R. This course covers each and every aspect of data mining in order to prepare you for real-world problems. You'll come to understand the different disciplines in data mining. In every discipline, there exist a variety of different algorithms. At least one algorithm of the various classes of algorithms will be covered to give you a foundation to further apply your knowledge to dive deeper into the different flavors of algorithms.</p> <p>After completing this course, you will be able to solve real-world data mining problems.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>Through the course, you will come to understand the different disciplines of data mining using hands-on examples where you actually solve real-world problems in R. For every category of algorithm, an example is explained in detail including test data and R code.</p>

The Basic Concepts of R
The aim of this video is to explain the basic concepts of R. This is exemplified by showing how easy it is to load data in R. Get an idea about how this is done in most of the cases as well as for some special cases such as databases and big data technologies. - Learn the basic concepts of R - Learn how to load a local CSV file and explore how to load a remote CSV file via HTTP - Review how to load data from databases and big data (Hadoop HDFS, Spark) and use a DataFrame Proxy (dashDB, BigR)
