Beginning Data Science with R by Manas A Pathak

The growing popularity of R is due its statistical roots and a vast open source package library. The goal of Beginning Data Science with R is to introduce the readers to some of the useful data science techniques and their implementation with the R programming language.

“The target audience for this book is non-R programmers and non-statisticians… if you want to get started with R and/or new statistical procedures have a look at this book. It can be quite helpful.” (David E. Booth, Technometrics, Vol. 58 (2), 2016) 

“This book is written for coders who already know how to code to learn R for data science. The book covers how to install and use R … . This is a good book to get you stated coding in R for data science.” (Mary Anne, Cats and Dogs with Data, maryannedata.com, May, 2015)
