Overview of this book

R is a high-level statistical language and is widely used among statisticians and data miners to develop analytical applications. Often, data analysis people with great analytical skills lack solid programming knowledge and are unfamiliar with the correct ways to use R. Based on the version 3.4, this book will help you develop strong fundamentals when working with R by taking you through a series of full representative examples, giving you a holistic view of R. We begin with the basic installation and configuration of the R environment. As you progress through the exercises, you'll become thoroughly acquainted with R's features and its packages. With this book, you will learn about the basic concepts of R programming, work efficiently with graphs, create publication-ready and interactive 3D graphs, and gain a better understanding of the data at hand. The detailed step-by-step instructions will enable you to get a clean set of data, produce good visualizations, and create reports for the results. It also teaches you various methods to perform code profiling and performance enhancement with good programming practices, delegation, and parallelization. By the end of this book, you will know how to efficiently work with data, create quality visualizations and reports, and develop code that is modular, expressive, and maintainable.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We can load the contents of the data.csv file into a data frame (the most intuitive structure to use with data in CSV format) by using the read.csv() function."

A block of code is set as follows:

data <- read.csv("./data_brexit_referendum.csv") 
data[data$Leave == -1, "Leave"] <- NA

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

sum(is.na(data$Leave))
#> [1] 267

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ sudo service mysql start

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Now that our code is ready, we should see a table appear in the Data Overview tab."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.
Tips and tricks appear like this.
