The ability to interpret and act on the massive amounts of information locked in web and enterprise systems is critical to success in the modern business economy. R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, is a comprehensive package that empowers developers and analysts to capture, process, and respond intelligently to statistical information.
R in Action is the first book to present both the R system and the use cases that make it such a compelling package for business developers. The book begins by introducing the R language, and then moves on to various examples illustrating R’s features. Coverage includes data mining methodologies, approaches to messy data, R’s extensive graphical environment, useful add-on modules, and how to interface R with other software platforms and data management systems.
