This is the first episode of a Four-part series - An introduction to R and Machine learning. Join us for the session at Explore and analyze data with R - part 1 of 4, Tue, May 3, 2022, 4:00 PM | Meetup. You can now watch the recording at https://youtu.be/jsgscTo6o7Q.
Let us say the Department of Transportation is considering the addition of a new airport. As the incredible data scientist, you are, you have been requested to explore existing data. The results of your analysis might form the basis of a report or a machine learning mode.
In this session, you will explore a real-world dataset containing flights data from the US Department of Transportation.
What is the session about?
This is the first episode of the Four-part series - An introduction to R and Machine learning.
In this session you will learn about common data exploration and analysis tasks, as well as how to use R packages such as ggplot2, dplyr, and tidyr to turn raw data into understanding, insight, and knowledge.
Who is it aimed at?
This session is aimed at anyone who would like to get started with data science in R
Why should you attend?
Learn how to perform data exploration and visualization through Tidyverse R packages
Any pre-requisites?
Knowledge of basic mathematics
Some experience programming in R
What will we cover in the session?
- Cleaning data to handle errors, missing values, and other issues.
- Exploratory data analysis (EDA) to analyze and investigate data sets and summarize their main characteristics (e.g., distribution).
