What is DATA SCIENCE :
Data science is a "concept to statistics, data analysis, machine learning and their related methods" in order to "understand and analyze” with data.
Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from data in various forms, both structured and unstructured, similar to data mining.
Data Science is also called as "The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century".
DATA ANALYSIS:
Data analysis is the process of extracting information from data. It involves multiple stages including establishing a data set, preparing the data for processing, applying models, identifying key findings and creating reports.
The goal of data analysis is to find actionable insights that can inform decision making.
Data analysis can involve data mining, descriptive and predictive analysis, statistical analysis, business analytics and big data analytics.
Who is Data Scientist:
Statistician + Software Engineer
A person who is better at statistics than any software engineer or a person who is better at software engineering than any statistician is a data scientist.
Who can be Data Scientist:
Computing Skills + Mathematics, Probability & Statistical Knowledge + Domain Expertise can be a data scientist
Data Science Process:

Machine Learning:
It is similar like Human Learning
Machine learning is the sub-field of computer science that, according to Arthur Samuel, gives "computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed."
Samuel, an American pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence, coined the term "machine learning" in 1959 while at IBM.
Machine learning is a field of computer science that uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to "learn" (e.g., progressively improve performance on a specific task) with data, without being explicitly programmed.
Traditional Programming vs Machine Learning:
In traditional programming, if we give inputs + programs to the computer, then computer gives the output.
In machine learning, if we give inputs + outputs to the computer, then computer gives the program (Predictive Model).
Example 1: Here "a" and "b" are inputs and "c" is output
a b c
1 2 3
2 3 5
3 4 7
4 5 9
9 10 ?
What is the output of c ?
Example 2: Here "x" is input and "y" is output
x y
1 10
2 20
3 30
4 40
5 ?
500 ?
y ~ x : y = 10x
Example 3: Here "x" is input and "y" is output
x y
1 14
2 18
3 22
4 26
5 ?
500 ?
here we can observe linear regression
y ~ x : y = mx+c here m is slope and c is constant
y = 4x+10

Setting R Environment:
R come with a lot of packages.
By default only some packages will be attached to the R environment.
search()
displays the currently attached packages
installed.packages()
displays the installed packages in the machine
library(package name) / require(package name)
attaches the packages to the R application
install.packages("package name")
installs the add-on packages from CRAN
detach(package:package name)
detaches the packages from the R environment
Package - Help
library(help="package name")
Function - Help
help(function name)
or
?function name
Variables in R:
A valid variable name consists of letters, numbers and the dot or underline characters. The variable name starts with a letter or the dot not followed by a number.
Variable Name Validity
a_2. Valid
.a Valid
a.b Valid
a% Invalid
1a Invalid
.1a Invalid
_a Invalid
Operators in R:
An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical manipulations.
We have the following types of operators in R Programming:
Relational operator
==,<,>,<=,>=,!=
Logical operators
& (AND), | (OR), ! (NOT)
Mathematical operators
+,-,*,/,%% (Module), ^/** (Exp), %/% (Integer division)
Assignment operators
Assign the values:
=
<-
->
assign("var_name",value)
Data/Object types in R:
R is called as a Dynamic typed language, which means that we can change a variable's data type of the same variable again and again when using it in a program.
Dynamic typed language (No Declaration)
Logical - TRUE,FALSE,T,F
Double - 10,20.30,45,-45
Integer - 10L,35.34L,-55L
Character - "Data", "Hills", "7"
Complex - 3+6i,2+10i
typeof(var_name/value):
Returns the internal storage data type.
a <- 10
typeof(a)
double
a <- "DataHills"
typeof(a)
character
to test the data type:
is.datatype(var_name/value)
is.logical(TRUE)
convert the data type:
as.datatype(var_name/value)
as.integer(a)
Comments in R:
==============
--> Single comment is written using # in the beginning of the statement.
# Comments are like helping text in your R Program
--> Multi-line comments is written using if()
if(FALSE) {
"We put such comments inside, either
single or double quote" }
Variable Assignment:
===================
1. print()
2. cat()
print():
-------
--> print() function is used to print the value stored in variable
Ex:
a <- 10
print(a)
cat():
-----
--> cat() function is used to combines multiples items into a continuous print output.
Ex:
a <- "DataHills"
cat("Welcome to ", a)
Datatype of a Variable:
=======================
1. typeof()
2. class()
3. mode()
1. typeof(var_name/value)
-------------------------
--> typeof determines the (R internal) type or storage mode of any object
Ex:
typeof(a)
typeof(10)
2.class(var_name/value)
-----------------------
--> R possesses a simple generic function mechanism which can be used for an object-oriented style of programming.
--> Method dispatch takes place based on the class of the first argument to the generic function.
Ex:
class(a)
class(10)
3. mode(var_name/value)
-----------------------
--> Get or set the type or storage mode of an object.
Ex:
mode(a)
mode(10)
Displaying & Deleting Variables in R:
=====================================
1. ls()
2. rm()
1. ls():
--------
--> ls() function is used to display all the variables currently availabe in the R environment.
Ex:
ls()
--> ls() function is also used to display patterns to match the variables names by using pattern.
Ex:
# Display the variables starting with the pattern "a"
ls(pattern="a")
--> ls() function is also used to display hidden variables i.e, the variable starting with dot(.) by using all.names=TRUE.
Ex: Display the variables which are hidden
ls(all.names=TRUE)
--> rm() function is used to delete the variable.
Ex:
rm(a)
--> rm() function is also used to delete all the variables by using rm() and ls() function together.
Ex: Remove all the variables at a time
rm(list=ls())
Structures/Objects in R:
========================
1. Vectors
2. Lists
3. Matrices
4. Data Frames
5. Arrays
6. Factors
Vectors:
========
--> Single dimensional object with homogenous data types.
--> To create a vector use fucntion c()
--> Here "c" means combine
# if i try like this
a <- 10,20,30,40
it gives an error.
# then combine all these values by using c()
a <- c(10,20,30,40)
# to check the internal storage of a
typeof(a)
# to check the internal storage of each value in a
lapply(a,FUN=typeof)
sapply(a,FUN=typeof)
or
lapply(a,typeof) # list of values
sapply(a,typeof) # vector of values
--> Vectors are the most basic R structures/objects
--> The types of atomic vectors are in
1. logical
2. integer
3. double
4. complex
5. character
Vector Creation:
================
--> We can create vectors with single element and multiple elements.
--> They are
1. Single Element Vector
2. Multiple Elements Vector
Single Element Vector:
======================
--> When we assign a single value into variable, it becomes a vector of length 1 and belongs to one of the above vector types.
Ex:
a <- 10
b <- 20L
c <- "DataHills"
d <- TRUE
e <- 2+3i
Multiple Elements Vector:
=========================
--> When we assign multiple value into a variable, it becomes a vector of length n
and belongs to one of the above vector types.
Ex:
a <- c(10,20,30,40,50)
b <- c(20L,40L,60L,80L)
c <- c("Srinivas","DataHills","DataScience","MachineLearning")
d <- c(T,FALSE,TRUE,F,T,F)
e <- c(2+3i,4+4i,5+6i)
# Heterogeneous data type values are converted into homogeneous data type values:
a <- c(10,20,30,40,"DataHills")
Output:
"10" "20" "30" "40" "DataHills"
# The double and character values are converted into characters.
Observer with some examples:-
a <- c(10L,20)
a <- c(T,5)
a <- c(2+3i,"DataHills")
a <- c(9L,30,4+5i)
Here data types having some priority, based on that they are converting.
i.e, Lower data types to higher data types
1. CHARACTER
2. COMPLEX
3. DOUBLE
4. INTEGER
5. LOGICAL
a <- c(TRUE,30,20L,2+3i,"DataHills")
a <- c(TRUE,30,20L,2+3i)
a <- c(TRUE,30,20L)
a <- c(TRUE,20L)
To generate a sequence of numeric values
<Start_Value>:<End_Value>
1:10
10:1
3.5:10.5
10.5:3.5
# by using seq() function
Syntax: seq(from=VALUE,to=VALUE,by=VALUE)
Ex: seq(from=1,to=10,by=1)
seq(to=10,by=1,from=1)
seq(by=10,to=100,from=10)
seq(1,10,by=2)
seq(from=1,10,2)
seq(1,to=10,2)
seq(1,10,1)
seq(2,20,2)
seq(10,1,1) # Error
seq(10,1,-1)
seq(1,10,pi)
seq(10)
seq(-10)
seq(1:10)
