Course description

This course will guide you through the entire data science workflow, starting with data manipulation, cleaning, visualization to machine learning whether you’re new to R or looking to deepen your knowledge.

You will start with the basics of R programming, gaining familiarity with essential data structures and functions, then move on to using key R libraries like dplyr, ggplot2, and caret. You will learn to clean and wrangle data, create insightful visualizations, perform statistical analyses, and build predictive models by simply working on real-world projects. Throughout the course, you’ll practice your skills with hands-on exercises that reinforce key concepts to ensure you gain the necessary skills required to get you ready for industry-level operations.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in using R in data science, and be able to confidently apply your knowledge to solve data-driven problems, create compelling visualizations, and build machine learning models. This course is ideal for anyone looking to start a career in data science or those who want to expand their existing skills. Join us today, and let us learn and share knowledge together.
