Inhaltsangabe

Use R to turn data into insight, knowledge, and understanding. With this practical book, aspiring data scientists will learn how to do data science with R and RStudio, along with the tidyverseâ a collection of R packages designed to work together to make data science fast, fluent, and fun. Even if you have no programming experience, this updated edition will have you doing data science quickly.

You'll learn how to import, transform, and visualize your data and communicate the results. And you'll get a complete, big-picture understanding of the data science cycle and the basic tools you need to manage the details. Updated for the latest tidyverse features and best practices, new chapters show you how to get data from spreadsheets, databases, and websites. Exercises help you practice what you've learned along the way.

You'll understand how to:

• Visualize: Create plots for data exploration and communication of results
• Transform: Discover variable types and the tools to work with them
• Import: Get data into R and in a form convenient for analysis
• Program: Learn R tools for solving data problems with greater clarity and ease
• Communicate: Integrate prose, code, and results with Quarto

He is also a writer, educator, and frequent speaker promoting the use of R for data science. Learn more on his homepage, http: //hadley.nz.

Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel is Professor of the Practice and the Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Department of Statistical Science and an affiliated faculty in the Computational Media, Arts, and Cultures program at Duke University as well as Educator at RStudio. Mine works on innovation in statistics and data science pedagogy, with an emphasis on computing, reproducible research, student-centered learning, and open-source education. At RStudio, Mine's work focuses primarily on education for open-source R packages as well as building resources and tools for educators teaching statistics and data science with R and RStudio. Mine has authored four undergraduate statistics textbooks as part of the OpenIntro projects, teaches the popular MOOC Statistics with R on Coursera and is the developer and maintainer of Data Science in a Box. Mine is a Fellow of the ASA and an Elected Member of the ISI as well as the recipient of the 2021 Robert V. Hogg Award For Excellence in Teaching Introductory Statistics, the 2018 Harvard Pickard Award, and the 2016 ASA Waller Education Award.

Garrett Grolemund is the author of Hands-On Programming with R and co-author of R for Data Science and R Markdown: The Definitive Guide. He is Director of Learning at RStudio and holds a Ph.D. in Statistics, but specializes in teaching. He's taught people how to use R at over 50 government agencies, small businesses, and multi-billion dollar global companies; and he's designed RStudio's training materials for R, Shiny, R Markdown and more. Garrett wrote the popular lubridate package for dates and times in R and creates the RStudio cheat sheets.
