R is the It incorporates all of the standard statistical tests, models, and analyses, as well as providing a comprehensive language for managing and manipulating data. Information graphics are, more Though his book can get extremely technical and is geared toward someone with significant programming experience (as well as statistical analysis skills), his Seven Stages of Visualizing Data are relevant to anyone interested in displaying data. Event History Analysis with R presents an introduction to survival and event history analysis, with an emphasis on using the R software for implementation of the methods. It can also produce graphics output in PDF, JPG, PNG, and SVG formats, and table output for LATEX and HTML. We tend to treat data as "truth," as if it is immutable and only has one perspective to present. This third edition expands upon topics How do you use Windows PowerShell to navigate the filesystem, manage files and folders, or retrieve a web page? If someone uses data in a visualization, we are inclined to believe it. R allows you to produce exceptional data graphics. An information graphic generally deals with answering and analyzing knowledge, whereas a data visualization is typically a more complex examination of a set of statistics. This workshop on Programming with R : A Pragmatic Introduction is being conducted as a part of the series of workshops on Financial Data Analysis Using R from 9th August to 11th August, 2012, complemented by a two day workshop on Time Series Analysis using R. There are many tools around to help turn data . I want to share an excerpt from a book Data Mining with Rattle and R by-Graham Williams which captures in totality about advantages and disadvantages of R. It is both for learning and for reference. What it does:R is a general statistical analysis platform (the authors call it an "environment") that runs on the command line. R is an awesome statistical analysis package. Numerous examples illustrate a specific situation, topic, or problem, including data importing, data management, classical statistical analyses, and high-quality graphics production. But if you're trying to extract useful information from an ever-increasing inflow of data, you'll likely find visualization useful -- whether it's to show patterns or trends with graphics instead of mountains of text, or to try to explain complex issues to a nontechnical audience. Assuming basic statistical knowledge and some experience with data analysis (but not R), the book is ideal for research scientists, final-year undergraduate or graduate-level students of applied statistics, and practicing statisticians.
