Book description:The Oracle Press Guide to Big Data Analytics using R
Cowritten by members of the Big Data team at Oracle, this Oracle Press book focuses on analyzing data with R while making it scalable using Oracle’s R technologies. Using R to Unlock the Value of Big Data provides an introduction to open source R and describes issues with traditional R and database interaction. The book then offers in-depth coverage of Oracle’s strategic R offerings: Oracle R Enterprise, Oracle R Distribution, ROracle, and Oracle R Connector for Hadoop. You can practice your new skills using the end-of-chapter exercises.
