About the Data
“We are not rich by what [the Big Data] we possess but by what [Big Data] we can do without.” – Critique of Pure Reason (Immanuel Kant)
This little book about Big Data and R is different than other books or blogs you might have seen on both topics Big Data or the programming language R. Why? The book actually tries to integrate both topics in a unique way to help the reader, who is working in finance or the insurance industry, to better understand efficient data manipulation for purposes of data preparation, description, prediction and presentation. The book shows that actually the small data sets matter most. They provide the crucial insights. The book guides the reader through more than 50 code examples that can be simply copied and pasted to get insights.
