Program Background
R is a fascinating programming language and is now used in a range of professions including software development, business analysis, statistical reporting and scientific research. It’s more likely than ever that you’ll encounter R in your organization and even more likely to use it yourself. So why not add it to your resume? Enroll in our course on R Programming and learn the language that has grown significantly in popularity. Analysis of jobs posted on indeed.com show R and Python as two of the most popular language for data science and machine learning(Source: kdnuggets.com).
Analytics is an essential skill needed to run your business successfully. Common applications of analytics include the study of business data using mathematical & statistical analysis to discover and understand patterns which will help predict & improve business performance in the future. Analytics is an integral part of most businesses, and most successful entrepreneurs and business managers have generally been analysts in their own right, even if the analysis they have been doing has largely been intuitive.
It was projected, sometime during 2013, that 90% of the world’s data had been created during the preceding two years going back from that date. As the volume of data grew exponentially, the demand for statisticians, data scientists and professionals capable of organizing, dissecting, summarizing and analyzing the data also grew by leaps and bounds . The domains of Big Data and Predictive Analytics became one of the most important disruptive technologies increasingly used by organizations for accurate projections, forecasts and innovative insights into probable future scenarios. This, in turn, blended well with the other important disruptive technology, A.I., which needed to look at and make sense of huge volumes of data as part of its ongoing and progressive learning processes.
Why ‘R’
The programming language ‘ R’ is one of the two most important languages used by data scientists, statisticians as well as Predictive Analytics and Big Data Analytics practitioners. It is also important for those working in the domain of machine learning and cognitive computing.
What are the prerequisites for those interested in doing the course
Nice-to- have: Knowledge of at least one programming language.

Program Background
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, the technologies that drive automated reasoning, learning, decision making and perception have already pervaded our lives both in our homes and our workplaces. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are used in our phones, our cars, even some of our home devices, to learn and anticipate our needs. They are also used for a wide variety of web services such as e-mail filtering, data querying and map navigation that we use every day. Soon AI will operate our driverless cars, manage the comfort and security of our homes and facilitate our communications with the global information network.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are also ubiquitous in the workplace. They power robots that can learn to operate on factory floors or predict which machines need maintenance. They power software tools can match digital ads to users or plan whole marketing campaigns. They can match resumes to jobs, and predict sales and profits. They help doctors make diagnoses, or lawyers prepare for cases. They are already making a big difference in many different domains, including, but not limited to, publishing, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, healthcare, sports management and a host of other services.
Knowledge of AI and Machine Learning, their current capabilities and limitations, and also their future potential is essential for every business that wants thrive and grow in this new millennium.
