Description

In this course, learn how to encode data for a data set based on customer retail purchases. From cleaning and preparing data, to finding simple and powerful frequency analysis, you will make an impact quickly in businesses and organizations. Throughout the course you will use R, one of the best and most popular statistical computing languages. Some experience with R and RStudio will help.

What You'll Learn?

Encoding Data can be time consuming and lacks proper data insights in the process. In this course, Encoding Data with R, you will gain the ability to encode data to utilize a data set, while being able to find data frequencies and insights that fit your data set and business goals. First, you will learn the factor() function for converting data types. Next, you will discover how to find data frequencies through the table() function. Finally, you will explore how to encode data for a indicator flag or for a potential model. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to encode data to find insights quickly.
