Hands-On Programming with R: Write Your Own Functions and Simulations

Learn how to program by diving into the R language, and then use your newfound skills to solve practical data science problems. With this book, you€ll learn how to load data, assemble and disassemble data objects, navigate R€s environment system, write your own functions, and use all of R€s programming tools.

RStudio Master Instructor Garrett Grolemund not only teaches you how to program, but also shows you how to get more from R than just visualizing and modeling data. You€ll gain valuable programming skills and support your work as a data scientist at the same time.
