Big Data is a term referring to solutions designed for storing and processing large-scale datasets. Initially developed by Google, these Big Data solutions have evolved and inspired numerous similar projects, many of which are available as open-source. R is a widely used programming language within the financial industry.

R is an open-source, free programming language designed for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. It is increasingly adopted by managers and data analysts across corporations and academia. R has also gained traction among statisticians, engineers, and scientists who may lack formal programming skills but find the language intuitive to use. Its growing popularity stems from the expanding use of data mining for diverse objectives, such as setting advertising prices, accelerating drug discovery, or refining financial models. R offers a wide range of packages tailored for data mining tasks.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) is designed for data analysts who wish to programme with R in SAS for cluster analysis.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Apply cluster analysis for data mining purposes.
• Master R syntax for developing clustering solutions.
• Implement both hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering techniques.
• Make data-driven decisions to help improve business operations.

Data analytics is a vital tool in today's business landscape. Throughout this course, we focus on building practical, hands-on skills for data analysis. The goal is to empower participants to provide evidence-based answers to key questions: 

What has happened?

• processing and analysing data
• creating insightful data visualisations

What will happen?

• forecasting future performance
• evaluating forecasts

What should happen?

• turning data into evidence-based business decisions
• optimising processes

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is designed for beginner-level professionals who wish to clean and analyse data, make statistical projections, and create insightful visualisations using these tools.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basics of Python, R, Power Query, and Power BI for data analysis.
• Clean and organise datasets using Python and Power Query.
• Perform statistical analysis and projections with R.
• Create professional dashboards and reports with Power BI.
• Integrate and analyse data from multiple sources effectively.

R is a widely used, open-source environment for statistical computing, data analytics, and graphics. This course introduces students to the R programming language, covering language fundamentals, libraries, and advanced concepts. Participants will explore advanced data analytics and visualisation using real-world datasets.

• Implement end-to-end data science projects.

It is estimated that unstructured data accounts for more than 90 percent of all data, much of it in the form of text. Blog posts, tweets, social media, and other digital publications continuously add to this growing body of data.

This instructor-led, live course centres on extracting insights and meaning from this data. Using the R language and Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries, we blend concepts and techniques from computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics to algorithmically interpret the meaning behind text data. Data samples are available in various languages, depending on customer requirements.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to prepare data sets (both large and small) from disparate sources and apply the appropriate algorithms to analyse and report on their significance.
