R is the most popular environment and language for statistical analyses, data mining, and machine learning. Managed and scalable version of R runs in SQL Server and Azure ML. Learn how to program in R to squeeze the information from your data. This course is both, an independent seminar, and a complement to the Python for SQL Server Specialists seminar, meaning that the two courses overlap only partially; in each course, some different algorithms and techniques are introduced.

The target audience is everybody that wants to start analyzing data with R. Database developers that deal with SQL Server and code in T-SQL and want to move more to advanced analytics can get the most of this course.

• Start analyzing their data with statistical and machine learning methods immediately
• They can also prepare the data accordingly for the target analysis, and deploy the solution in SQL Server.
• Besides practical skills, the delegates also learn the basics of the mathematics behind the algorithms.

Module 1: Introduction to R

Module 2: Data overview and manipulation

Module 3: Basic and advanced visualizations

Module 4: Data mining and machine learning methods

Module 5: Scalable R in SQL Server

There are no guided labs. However, the attendees get all of the code so they can test it.
