Welcome to the Data Science Specialization using R!

The Beginner’s Guide to the Data Science Specialization using R!

In my first video, I introduced the learners to the Data Science Specialization using R. I have covered topics such as data manipulation, data visualization, statistical inference, and machine learning. I have also talked about the importance of using R in data science and the benefits of the Data Science Specialization. You are now ready to dive deeper into the world of data science with R and learn from my expertise. If you haven't watched my first video please find it below:



Course Dependency Table:

To help my viewers better understand the structure and dependencies of the Data Science Specialization using R, I have provided a course dependency table. This table will show which courses build upon the knowledge learned in previous courses and which courses are prerequisites for others.

For the courses, we consider two forms of dependency:

  • Hard dependency: Students will be required to know material from the prerequisite course. Taking the dependent course simultaneously will be challenging and only possible for highly motivated students willing to work ahead of the course schedule for the prerequisite. Taking hard dependent courses out of order is not possible unless the student already knows the material covered in the prerequisite course.
  • Soft dependency: Knowledge of material from the prerequisite course is recommended and useful. Concurrently taking the prerequisite course and the dependent course is possible. It is not recommended to take them out of order, but would be possible for highly motivated students willing to self-teach components of the prerequisite course as needed.

Installing R on Windows and MAC Operating System

The Beginner’s Guide to Installing R on Windows and MAC OS Hello and Welcome to next part of our first course in The Data Science Specialization. After getting familiar with what is Data science, Data, Data Science process and knowing what actually is Data Scientist, we move towards the next part of getting familiar with the tools that will be needed during our Data science specialization. First, let’s remind ourselves exactly what R is and why we might want to use it. R  is both a programming language and an environment, focused mainly on statistical analysis and graphics. It will be one of the main tools you use in this and following courses. R is downloaded from the  Comprehensive R Archive Network , or CRAN, and while this might be your first brush with it, we will be returning to CRAN time and time again, when we install packages - so keep an eye out! Why should you use R? Outside of this course, you may be asking yourself -  why should I use R? The rea...

Mastering Subsetting Techniques and Vectorized Operations in R: A Comprehensive Guide

The Beginner’s Guide Subsetting and Vectorized Operations in R: Subsetting in R is a crucial part of data analysis and manipulation. It enables us to extract specific data elements from a larger dataset and perform operations on them. In this blog post, we will discuss several subsetting techniques in R, including partial matching , removing NA values , using the completecase function , vectorized operations on lists and matrices , and matrix multiplication and inverse . Partial Matching Partial matching in R is a useful technique for extracting subsets of data from larger datasets. It involves using a subset of a string to match against a larger string. For example, if you have a dataset with variable names such as "age", "height", and "weight", you can use partial matching to extract all variables that contain the substring "h". To do this, you can use the $ operator and the grep function as follows: data <- data.frame(age = c(20, 30, 40), h...

Introduction to R Markdown

The Beginner’s Guide to R Markdown! We’ve spent a lot of time getting R and R Studio working, learning about Functionalities of R Studio and R Packages - you are practically an expert at this! There is one major functionality of R/R Studio that we would be remiss to not include in your introduction to R -  Markdown! Functionalities in R Studio Introduction to R Packages What is R Markdown? R Markdown is a way of creating fully reproducible documents, in which both text and code can be combined. In fact, these lessons are written using R Markdown! That’s how we make things: bullets bold italics links or run inline r code And by the end of this lesson, you should be able to do each of those things too, and more! Despite these documents all starting as plain text, you can render them into HTML pages, or PDFs, or Word documents, or slides! The symbols you use to signal, for example,  bold  or  italics  is compatible with all of those formats. Wh...
