The TPO in collaboration with StepUp Analytics organizes a workshop .
Training and placement office (General) in collaboration with StepUp Analytics organizes a workshop on R programming.
Why Learn R?
A good data scientist is a passionate coder/ statistician, and there’s no better programming language for a statistician to learn than R. It’s a popular skill among Big Data analysts and data scientists most sought after by some of the biggest brands. In addition, R’s commercial applications increase by the minute, and companies appreciate its versatility. ❖ R is open-source and freely available. Unlike
SAS or Matlab, you can freely install, use, update, clone, modify, redistribute and resell R. ❖ R is a powerful scripting language. As such, R can handle large, complex data sets. R is also the best language to use for heavy, resource-intensive simulations and it can be used on high-performance computer clusters. ❖ R is cross-platform compatible. R can be run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It can also import data from Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle and another program.
