“DATA ANALYTICS WITH R” WORKSHOP IN ASSOCIATION WITH DEVARTY TECHNOLOGIES

A student development program was organized on “Data Analytics with R” from 31st March 2019 to 9th April 2019 in which 62students participated. This course helped the students know how to tackle data analysis problems using R programming language,understand how data is created, stored, accessed? Data analysis has become an essential part of everyday life and emerged as a critical component of modern business intelligence inrecent years. Data scientists have a number of options to analyze data using statistical methods. One of the most convenient andpowerful methods is to use the Python and R programming language. This course gave the students a strong foundationin the areas of analytics. They will also able to compute various statistical measures, create meaningful data visualizations, R modelsto predict expected future outcomes.
