Advanced R
Data Programming and the Cloud

Authors: Matt Wiley, Joshua F. Wiley



Demonstrates how to set up and run R in the cloud

Shows how to leverage applied R programming to make analyses more efficient

Shows how to generate dynamic reports and tables showcasing results of analyses

Program for data analysis using R and learn practical skills to make your work more efficient. This book covers how to automate running code and the creation of reports to share your results, as well as writing functions and packages. Advanced R is not designed to teach advanced R programming nor to teach the theory behind statistical procedures. Rather, it is designed to be a practical guide moving beyond merely using R to programming in R to automate tasks.

This book will show you how to manipulate data in modern R structures and includes connecting R to data bases such as SQLite, PostgeSQL, and MongoDB. The book closes with a hands-on section to get R running in the cloud. Each chapter also includes a detailed bibliography with references to research articles and other resources that cover relevant conceptual and theoretical topics.
