Purpose of this work.
This material is for educational purpose only, it currently represents a work in progress. They are based on my teaching experience and learning material I have prepared for my students at Northeastern University.
The students at my classes are learning two major fields at the same time: analytics and programming in R, and this is a big challenge they must accomplish with high levels of excellence in a short period of time, specially at the Master level courses. I have developed a simple strategy to teach both disciplines, helping my students to grow their learning curves in a fun and enjoyable process. I am putting this manual series as a reference and learning resource for my students, and also making it available to other students and instructors.
This work is also part of a book project I am working on.
Until otherwise clearly stated, this material is considered to be draft version.
