- 4. Introduction ● Learning R ○ R Console ○ R Studio ○ R GUIs ○ R Cloud ● Teaching R
- 5. R from the Console ● limited lines of code can submitted at a time ● one graph can be viewed at a time ● best for either beginners or really command line users ● no syntax prompting ● help is in a separate window
- 6. R Syntax- most important - # adding a hash or # comments out rest of sentence comments make your code more readable -?(keyword) looks for help on that keyword locally -??(keyword) looks for help on that keyword in all the documentation Assignment ● objectname1=subset(df,df.name$var1 )

Teaching R Multiple ways to do the same thing in R - Resolve CONFUSION GUIs can be shortcut initially -Selective Introduction to Packages Will need command line and ?help later on -Emphasizing documentation Pace of learning to be as per audience Huge Scope- hence should be kept pertinent to needs Analytics is not Statistics R is more than a computer language or syntax Projects are the best teachers
- 34. R Project for Researchers ● creating packages for analytics relevant to industry ○ i.e telecom churn, rfm, ltv, retail ● any takers?
