Utilizing many examples and projects, this book teaches you how to get data into R and how to work with that data using R. Once grounded in the fundamentals, the rest of \u003ci\u003ePractical R 4\u003c\/i\u003e dives into specific projects and examples starting with running and analyzing a survey using R and LimeSurvey. Next, you'll carry out advanced statistical analysis using R and MouselabWeb. Then, you'll see how R can work for you without statistics, including how R can be used to automate data formatting, manipulation, reporting, and custom functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe final part of this book discusses using R on a server; you'll build a script with R that can run an RStudio Server and monitor a report source for changes to alert the user when something has changed. This project includes both regular email alerting and push notification. And, finally, you'll use R to create a customized daily rundown report of a person's most important information such as a weather report, daily calendar, to-do's and more. This demonstrates how to automate such a process so that every morning, the user navigates to the same web page and gets the updated report.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSet up and run an R script, including installation on a new machine and downloading and configuring R\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTurn any machine into a powerful data analytics platform accessible from anywhere with RStudio Server\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrite basic R scripts and modify existing scripts to suit your own needs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreate basic HTML reports in R, inserting information as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuild a basic R package and distribute it\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e Some prior exposure to statistics, programming, and maybe SAS is recommended but not required.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Westfall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1484259459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781484259450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jon Westfall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013949141247,"sku":"9781484259450","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2308b88-c787-4a8e-96fb-2cdc941e5523.jpg?v=1767745779","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practical-r-4-jon-westfall-9781484259450","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
