商品描述

R for Cloud Computing looks at some of the tasks performed by business analysts on the desktop (PC era) and helps the user navigate the wealth of information in R and its 4000 packages as well as transition the same analytics using the cloud. With this information the reader can select both cloud vendors and the sometimes confusing cloud ecosystem as well as the R packages that can help process the analytical tasks with minimum effort, cost and maximum usefulness and customization. The use of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and Step by Step screenshot tutorials is emphasized in this book to lessen the famous learning curve in learning R and some of the needless confusion created in cloud computing that hinders its widespread adoption. This will help you kick-start analytics on the cloud including chapters on both cloud computing, R, common tasks performed in analytics including the current focus and scrutiny of Big Data Analytics, setting up and navigating cloud providers.

Readers are exposed to a breadth of cloud computing choices and analytics topics without being buried in needless depth. The included references and links allow the reader to pursue business analytics on the cloud easily. It is aimed at practical analytics and is easy to transition from existing analytical set up to the cloud on an open source system based primarily on R.

This book is aimed at industry practitioners with basic programming skills and students who want to enter analytics as a profession. Note the scope of the book is neither statistical theory nor graduate level research for statistics, but rather it is for business analytics practitioners. It will also help researchers and academics but at a practical rather than conceptual level.

The R statistical software is the fastest growing analytics platform in the world, and is established in both academia and corporations for robustness, reliability and accuracy. The cloud computing paradigm is firmly established as the next generation of computing from microprocessors to desktop PCs to cloud.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

R for Cloud Computing 探討了商業分析師在桌面(PC 時代)上執行的一些任務,並幫助用戶在 R 及其 4000 個套件中導航豐富的信息,同時將相同的分析過程轉移到雲端。透過這些信息,讀者可以選擇雲端供應商以及有時令人困惑的雲端生態系統,還有可以幫助以最小的努力和成本處理分析任務的 R 套件,並實現最大的實用性和自訂性。本書強調使用圖形用戶界面(GUI)和逐步截圖教程,以減少學習 R 時著名的學習曲線以及在雲計算中產生的一些不必要的困惑,這些困惑阻礙了其廣泛採用。這將幫助您啟動雲端分析,包括有關雲計算、R 以及在分析中執行的常見任務的章節,還包括對大數據分析的當前關注和審查,以及設置和導航雲端供應商。

讀者將接觸到廣泛的雲計算選擇和分析主題,而不會被不必要的深度所淹沒。所包含的參考資料和鏈接使讀者能夠輕鬆地在雲端進行商業分析。這本書旨在實用分析,並且易於從現有的分析設置過渡到主要基於 R 的開源系統的雲端。

本書的目標讀者是具備基本程式設計技能的行業從業者和希望進入分析領域的學生。請注意,本書的範疇既不是統計理論,也不是研究生級別的統計研究,而是針對商業分析從業者。它也將幫助研究人員和學術界,但在實用而非概念的層面上。

R 統計軟體是全球增長最快的分析平台,並在學術界和企業中因其穩健性、可靠性和準確性而得到廣泛應用。雲計算範式已穩固地確立為從微處理器到桌面電腦再到雲端的下一代計算。
