About

This course will introduce to R programming and it's implementation in data science. It also provides flavour of complete end to end journey of any data science project i.e. connection of R with data sources, manipulation and data engineering, exploratory analysis and visualisations, predictive modelling and connection to any other platform.

Prerequisites

Basic Knowledge of Statistics will be helpful
