1 DAY | 7 HOURS TRAINING PROGRAMME
ONLINE OR FACE-TO-FACE TRAINING
In today's data-driven world, the ability to analyse and derive insights from massive datasets is crucial for businesses and organisations. Big Data presents unique challenges, such as volume, velocity, and variety, which require specialised tools and techniques for effective analysis. R, with its extensive statistical and data manipulation capabilities, provides a versatile platform for working with Big Data.
Throughout this course, we will explore the intersection of Big Data and R. We will dive into the fundamentals of Big Data, covering its definition, characteristics, and the role it plays in various industries. Then, we will delve into the R programming language, equipping you with the essential concepts and techniques needed to process, analyse, and visualise Big Data.
R can be a powerful tool for big data analysis when used in combination with specialized packages and distributed computing frameworks like Apache Spark. By employing efficient coding practices and considering performance optimization, R users can handle and analyze large-scale datasets effectively.
By the end of this course, participants will:
Understand the fundamentals of Big Data, its characteristics, and the challenges it poses.
Gain proficiency in R programming language and its application to Big Data analytics.
Learn techniques for importing, cleaning, and preprocessing large datasets in R.
Develop skills in exploratory data analysis and visualisation for Big Data.
Apply machine learning algorithms to Big Data using R and interpret the results.
Gain familiarity with popular Big Data frameworks such as Hadoop and Spark.
Learn how to leverage R packages and tools specifically designed for Big Data processing.
Gain practical experience through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies.
Learn best practices for efficient and scalable Big Data analysis with R.
Acquire the ability to make informed decisions and extract actionable insights from Big Data.
Data analysts and scientists interested in working with Big Data using R.
Professionals seeking to enhance their analytical skills and explore Big Data analytics.
Researchers and students looking to apply R in analysing large datasets.
Individuals involved in business intelligence, data engineering, or data-driven decision-making.
The course will consist of a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Participants will have access to their own computer with R and RStudio installed to follow along with the practical examples. Real-world datasets and case studies will be used to illustrate the application of R in Big Data analysis. Participants will be encouraged to actively engage in discussions, ask questions, and complete exercises to reinforce their learning.
