Question

How can I learn R on my own?

I'm interested in learning R on my own, but I'm not sure where to start. I’ve heard R is great for data analysis and statistics, and I want to use it for data visualization, data manipulation, and statistical modeling. What are some good resources or steps I can take to teach myself R from scratch? Any tips on how to practice and improve my skills effectively would be really helpful 

Answer 1

R programming is a language which is developed by statisticians for statisticians.

If you want to learn R really quickly, you follow this pattern:

• Start off by learning the data types: Vector, List, Matrix, Dataframe

• Once, you are comfortable with the different data types, you can go ahead and learn data manipulation using packages such as dplyr. Just take a data-set and apply your data-wrangling skills on it.

• Then you can learn data visualization using packages such as “GGPLOT2” (You can watch GGPLOT2 tutorial Data visualization in R video from Eduerka which covers all the facets of “GGPLOT2” package)

• Finally, you can learn data mining concepts using R
