A free and open source development environment for statistical computing and graphics, R has been gaining in popularity and interest over the past year. R analytics (or R programming language) is free, open-source software used for all kinds of data science, statistics, and visualisation projects. R programming language is powerful, versatile, AND able to be integrated into BI platforms like Sisense, to help you get the most out of business-critical data.
There are multiple ways for R to be deployed today across a variety of industries and fields. One common use of R for business analytics is building custom data collection, clustering, and analytical models. Instead of opting for a pre-made approach, R data analysis allows companies to create statistics engines that can provide better, more relevant insights due to more precise data collection and storage. This course is designed to help you to tackle complex, multifaceted projects, expanding your career prospects with Data Analytics certification.
