Data Science with R Tutorial

Data Science combines statistics, programming and domain knowledge to extract insights from data. R is a widely used language for statistical computing, data analysis and visualization. It provides rich libraries that simplify data manipulation, modeling and reporting.

• Use popular R libraries like dplyr, ggplot2 and tidyr for data cleaning and visualization.
• Perform statistical analysis and build models using packages such as caret and randomForest.
• Work with real datasets in RStudio to analyze, visualize and interpret results efficiently.
