R in Action

R is a powerful tool for statistical computing and graphics. Unlike general purpose programming languages, R speaks the language of data analysis. It's perfect for business pros, social scientists, and researchers who need to make sense out of raw information. It runs on all important platforms and provides thousands of useful modules and utilities to solve the most common data-crunching tasks you'll face in your daily work.

R in Action, Second Edition presents both the R language and the examples that make it so useful for business developers. Focusing on practical solutions, the book offers a crash course in statistics and covers elegant methods for dealing with messy and incomplete data that are difficult to analyze using traditional methods. You'll also master R's extensive graphical capabilities for exploring and presenting data visually. And this totally-revised second edition includes new chapters on time series analysis, cluster analysis, and classification methodologies, including decisions trees, random forests, and support vector machines.
