Learn About R Programming for Data Statistical Computing - Free Course

What is R Programming? R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed by John Chambers. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modeling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering etc.) and graphical techniques – it is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity.
