FAQs for Data Science in R Programming Online Course

  • Why should I learn R programming for a Data Science career?

    R is one of the most prominent and powerful tools - that is used to extract, clean and build models on a huge amount of data and it has been used in all major companies by leading data scientists. It is one of the easiest tools to learn and implement, for data analysis and it is required that one should know R programming in order to get a job in the field of data analysis. 

  • What are the pre-requisites to learn Data Science in R?

    The pre-requisites to learn Data Science in R is pretty straightforward. You need to have a strong aptitude for numbers, basic programming exposure and college level mathematics mastery.

  • Who will be my faculty?

    All the faculty are leading Data Scientists in multi national analytics firms. They have all been approved to teach Data Science at ProjectPro, after going through a series of stringent tests. So you can be assured that whatever you are learning is cutting edge and industry relevant.

  • What will I learn in this course?

    We will begin the course by covering basic syntax in R programming like - small programs to handle data, basic statistical concepts and then move on to different statistical methods to drive or summarize the data to get conclusions. The next level will be to implement all the statistical concepts in R - to solve data analysis problems. The last level will be implementing machine learning techniques to solve real industry problems.

Data Science in R Programming short tutorials

  • What is Back-propagation learning for Neural Networks?

    In simple terms, back-propagation learning for Neural networks is gradient descent method. In this method, random weights are initialized to the nodes of the neural network.
    Forward propagation through the layers is done to save the output of each layer. Then an error variable is calculated by computing the difference between desired output and actual output. Then the model is back propagated to find the error at each layer, weights adn bias of each layers are updated to minimize the error at each layer. The same process is repeated till the error variable reaches the threshold.

  • What are the advantages of Neural Network over Support Vector Machines?

    Multi-layer feed forward networks of Artificial Neural Networks are comparable to Support Vector Machines. The clear benefit for these models over SVM is the fact that these are parametric models with fixed node size, while SVM's are non-parametric. Any artificial Neural Network is made up of multiple hidden layers with variable number of nodes and bias parameters depending upon number of features. On the other hand, an SVM is consisted of a set of support vectors with assigned weights calculated from training set.
    One of the key advantages of Neural Networks is that they have multiple outputs, whereas any SVM will only produce one output. Therefore to create an n-ary classifier with SVM, we need to create n SVMs and train them separately; while n-ary classifier using a Neural Network can be trained in a single instance.

  • What does .SD stand for in data.table in R?

    SD is a data.table containing the subset of data for every group, excluding the columns of group. It is to be used when grouping by 'i', when keying by 'by', grouping by 'by' and ad hoc 'by'.
    .SD stands for 'Subset of Data.Table'. The full stop in the beginning of character SD is to avoid match with any user-defined column name.
    Consider a data.table:

    DT = data.table(x=rep(c("a","b","c"),each=2), y=c(1,3), v=1:6)
    setkey(DT, y)
    DT
    #      y x v
    # [1,] 1 a 1
    # [2,] 1 b 3
    # [3,] 1 c 5
    # [4,] 3 a 2
    # [5,] 3 b 4
    # [6,] 3 c 6

    Instead of this, you can use .SD :

    DT[, .SD[,paste(x,v, sep="", collapse="_")], by=y]
    #      y       V1
    # [1,] 1 a1_b3_c5
    # [2,] 3 a2_b4_c6

     

  • How to count consecutive patterns in string using R?

    Consider a random string input with recurring characters. The objective of this task is to count the consecutive patterns and print them along with the character of the repetitive strings. This can be done in R using the dplyr library. The code for which is mentioned below:

    library(dplyr)
    library(stringi)
    library(tidyr)
    
    //strings input = "Z,Z,Z,Y,X,X,W,W"
    data_frame(test_string = input) %>%
      group_by(test_string) %>%
      do(.$test_stringstring %>%
           first %>%
           stri_split_fixed(",") %>%
           first %>%
           rle %>%
           unclass %>%
           as.data.frame) %>%
      summarize(output_string = paste(lengths, values, collapse = " , "))

     

  • How to convert lists of different length vectors to data.frame in R?

    Consider a list which contains different length vectors, which needs to be converted to Data.Frame. For example, here is input for a list with two columns with unequal length vectors:

    SampleList <- list(A=c(1,2,3),B=c(1,2,3,4,5,6))

    There are quite a few ways to accomplish this conversion, some of the notable ones are mentioned below:

    data.frame(lapply(SampleList, "length<-", max(lengths(SampleList))))

    or

    ListToDataFrame <- function(SampleList){
      sapply(SampleList, "length<-", max(lenghts(SampleList)))
    }

    Then the following command can be executed for any list by simply calling the function.

    ListToDataFrame(SampleList)
  • How to calculate mean and variance of a data set in R?

    Suppose you have the following data type:

      Name Value
    1 A 10
    2 B 12
    3 C 11
    4 D 13

    and so on. The objective is to calculate mean and variance of the data set in R. There are various commands which can used to do the job:

    with (df, tapply(Value, Name, function(x) c(mean(x), var(x))))

    or

    aggregate(Value ~ Name, df, function (x) c(mean(x), var(x)))

    or

    do.call(rbind, by(df, df$Name, function(x) c(mean(x$Value), var(x$Value))))

    or

    library(data.table)
    setDT(df)[, list(Var=var(value), Mean = mean(value), by = Name)]
  • How to use Linear Regression and Group by function in R?

    A linear regression in R can be performed using either lme4 package or the plyr package or the nlme approach. For a data set which has multiple vectors, a mixed linear model will be a better approach.

    **

    library(nlme)
    lme(response ~ vector1, random = ~vector1|state1, correlation = corAR1(~vector1))

    **

    require(base) 
    library(base) 
    attach(data) # data = your data base
            #state is your label for the states column
    modell<-by(data, data$state, function(data) lm(y~I(1/var1)+I(1/var2)))
    summary(modell)
    
    **
  • What is the Neural Network Activation function in R?

    An activation function converts the weighted inputs of nodes in a Neural Network to its output activation. There are various activation functions used with Neural Networks, below mentioned is a list of few:

    1. Step Function
    2. Linear Combination
    3. Continuous Log-Sigmoid Functions
    4. Continuous Tan-Sigmoid Functions
    5. Softmax Functions
  • What is the difference between Data Science, Big Data and Business Analytics?

    Big Data is the term used to refer to high volume of data, that can be generated from various sources and in different formats. Big Data are often complex and large enough to be processed by traditional database management techniques. Data Science is term which refers to the discipline of analyzing the data. A data scientist creates knowledge out of the data using traditional and non-traditional tools and techniques.

    Business analytics is usually followed by Data Science applications. A Business analyst gathers insight from the previous business performance and results obtained by data analytics.

What do recruiters look for in a Data Scientist? June 27, 2016. Dataconomy.com


Most recruiters find this question very difficult to answer. The skills and proficiency of a data scientist depends on the industry or the company he/she is being hired for. But to highlight some loose parameters, recruiters look for two basic criteria to be fulfilled – 1. The data scientist applicant has to have a PhD in either a technical or a quantitative field. 2. If hiring for a position higher up – then the person needs to have industry experience. (Source: http://dataconomy.com/recruiters-hiring-managers-looking-data-scientist/ )
