In just 24 lessons of one hour or less, readers can learn all the skills and techniques needed to import, manipulate, summarize, model, and plot data with R, formalize analytical code; and build powerful R packages using current best practices. Each short, easy lesson builds on all that's come before: readers learn all of R's essentials as they create real R solutions. R in 24 hours, Sams Teach Yourself covers the entire data analysis workflow from the viewpoint of professionals whose code must be efficient, reproducible and suitable for sharing with others.
