Abstract

Analytics companies develop the ability to support their decisions through analytic reasoning using a variety of statistical and mathematical techniques. Thomas Devonport in his book titled, "Competing on analytics: The new science of winning", claims that a significant proportion of high-performance companies have high analytical skills among their personnel. On the other hand, a recent study has also revealed that more than 59% of the organizations do not have information required for decision-making. Learning "Data Analysis with R" not only adds to existing analytics knowledge and methodology, but also equips with exposure into latest analytics techniques including forecasting, social media analytics, text mining & so on. It gives an opportunity to work on real time data from Twitter, Facebook & other social networking sites.
