From Data to Deliverables with R

From Data to Deliverables with R is a collection of chapters from three Manning books, selected by author and data science practitioner Jonathan Carroll. You’ll start with an overview of common data structures in R and how they relate to spreadsheets, and then explore different ways of combining groups of data. You’ll walk through useful ways to inspect your data with summary statistics and visualization, and learn how to easily generate dynamic reports from your analysis in several formats directly from R. This straightforward sampler is a great first step to transitioning from spreadsheets for your data analysis tasks to more sophisticated, reproducible processes with R.

Beyond Spreadsheets with R

With Beyond Spreadsheets with R you’ll learn how to go from raw data to meaningful insights using R and RStudio. Each carefully crafted chapter covers a unique way to wrangle data, from understanding individual values to interacting with complex collections of data, including data you scrape from the web. You’ll build on simple programming techniques like loops and conditionals to create your own custom functions. You’ll come away with a toolkit of strategies for analyzing and visualizing data of all sorts.
