Overview of this book

<p>R offers a large variety of packages and libraries for fast and accurate data analysis and visualization. As a result, it’s one of the most popularly used languages by data scientists and analysts, or anyone who wants to perform data analysis.</p> <p>This video will demonstrate how you can put to use your existing knowledge of data analysis in R to build highly efficient, end-to-end data analysis pipelines without any hassle. You’ll start by building a content-based recommendation system, followed by building a project on sentiment analysis with tweets.</p> <p>You’ll implement time-series modeling for anomaly detection and understand cluster analysis for streaming data. You’ll work through projects on performing efficient market data research, building recommendation systems, and analyzing networks accurately, all provided with easy to follow code.</p> <p>With the help of these real-world projects, you’ll get a better understanding of the challenges faced when building data analysis pipelines, and see how you can overcome them without compromising on the efficiency or accuracy of your systems. The video covers some popularly used R packages such as dplyr, ggplot2, RShiny, and others, and includes tips on using them effectively.</p> <p>By the end of this video, you’ll have a better understanding of data analysis with R, and will be able to put your knowledge to practical use without any hassle.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>This video takes a unique, learn-as-you-do approach, as you build on your understanding of data analysis progressively with each project. This video is designed in a way that implementing each project will empower you with a unique skill set, and enable you to implement the next project more confidently.</p>

Introduction to the MXNet R Package
This video will use the package MXNet R to build our neural networks. We can work in our familiar R environment and at the same time harness the power of the GPUs. It will be useful to give you a small overview about the basic building blocks of MXNet before we start using it for our time series predictions. - Look at some NDArray operations
