R for Data Science - A Crash Course<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

Data Science helps you to convert raw data into meaningful insights. The aim of this course is to introduce the data science techniques in R for any data science enthusiasts. This crash course will give you a good foundation in most of the important data science tools in R including essentials of the R programming techniques, exploratory data analysis, predictive modeling, supervised learning, unsupervised learning and Neural Networks using R.<\/span><\/p>\n
