About the Course


Analytics is the new age career option and there are immense opportunities in this space. There are various tools available to carry out Analytics activities. Two tools which stand out are SAS and R. SAS is a proprietary software with a huge cost attached to it, while R is an open source tool which can be downloaded and used freely for unlimited use.

R is gaining more popularity these days, first because of its open source & low cost nature, and second because of the fact that big data tools like Hadoop are open source too and integration between these and other open source tools are seamless. And many a time the Analytics tasks are ad-hoc and do not require a commercial tool. This is adding to the popularity of R tool.

This course provides an in-depth knowledge of R and practical exposure as well to run various Analytics techniques on it. In this course we cover basics of Analytics also so that you become aware of theoretical aspects too.


Course Objective

After completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Learn basic Probability & Statistics.
  2. Learn Machine Learning techniques - Classification, Association and Cluster Analysis.
  3. Learn R in Detail.
  4. Learn how to carry out following tasks in R - Data visualization, Probability distribution, Linear regression, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes Model, Decision Tree, KNN-K Nearest Neighborhood, Support Vector Machine.
  5. Learn why Deducer is important for R. Learn in detail about Deducer.
  6. Learn about R packages like RCurl, rjsonio,lubridate,stringr,plyr,Hmisc,tm,wordcloud,twitteR
  7. Work on a live project where you need to extract live social media data and do analysis on that using R.


Why is it the right course for you?
