Data Analytics in Practice
2021-10-25
Preamble
This book is a basic introduction to data analytics with R. It is designed for Boston College’s Data Analytics in Practice (ISYS3340). To start, download and install R and RStudio from the following links:
Once you install R and RStudio, create a new R project and save it into a directory of your choice (but not in your “Downloads” directory).
To do so, go to File->New project
and follow the instructions. Name your project isys3340R
. Within that project, create two new folders (by clicking on the Files
tab and then on New Folder
):
Rmd
: a folder that will store your R Markdown files and R codedata
: a folder that will store the datasets we will use for this class.
Enjoy the workbook!
