Description

Program for data analysis using R and learn practical skills to make your work more?efficient. This revised book explores how to automate running code and the creation of?reports to share your results, as well as writing functions and packages. It includes key?R 4 features such as a new color palette for charts, an enhanced reference counting?system, and normalization of matrix and array types where matrix objects now?formally inherit from the array class, eliminating inconsistencies.

Advanced R 4 Data Programming and the Cloud?is not designed to teach advanced?R programming nor to teach the theory behind statistical procedures. Rather, it?is designed to be a practical guide moving beyond merely using R; it shows you how?to program in R to automate tasks.

This book will teach you how to manipulate data in?modern R structures and includes connecting R to databases such as PostgreSQL, cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), and digital dashboards such as Shiny.?Each chapter also includes a detailed bibliography with references to research articles and other resources that cover relevant conceptual and theoretical topics.
