What it does
R for Data Science teaches data import, transformation, visualization and reproducible analysis through an online book.
Follow the workflow from getting data into R to making it useful for analysis. The book joins data structure and plotting skills rather than teaching them as isolated commands. Work with a small dataset alongside the examples to keep each transformation visible. This is the second edition. The online book remains free and uses CC BY-NC-ND 3.0; a physical edition is a separate purchase.
