Is today's world all about creativity and ideation?

Are they the seeds to be nurtured to bring in automation, innovation and transformation.  There is a saying, necessity is the mother of invention. I would say, innovation is amalgamation of creativity and necessity.  We need to understand the ecosystem, to apply creativity and identify the ideas to bring in change. We need to be competent with changing ecosystem and think beyond the possible. What is the biggest challenge in doing this? "Unlearning and Learning", we think the current ecosystem is the best. Be it health, finserve, agriculture or mechanical domain, we need to emphasize with the stakeholders, to come up with the strategy to drive. The very evident example here is the quality of life is changing every millisecond. Few decades back the phone connection was limited to few, but today all the millennials are having a mobile phone. Now phone is not just a medium to talk, but are so powerful devices that an innovative solution can be developed on it.

Practical usage of RStudio features

Hello Data Experts,

Let me continue from my last blog Step by Step guide to install R :: “Step by Step guide to install R” where I had shared steps to install R framework and R Studio on windows platform.

Now that we are ready with Installation and R Studio, I will take you through R Studio basics. R Studio has primarily 4 sections with multiple sub tabs in each window:
Top Left Window:
  • Script editor: It is for writing, Saving and opening R Scripts. Commands part of Script can also be executed from this window.
  • Data viewer: Data uploaded can be viewed in this window.
 
Bottom Left Window:
  • Console: R Commands run in this window.
 
Top Right Window:
  • Workspace: workspace allow one to view objects and values assigned to them in global environment.
  • Historical commands: There is an option to search historical commands from beginning till last session. Beauty of this editor is that historical commands are searchable. Once historical commands are searched they can be reused thus help save effort and reinvent the wheel.
 
Bottom Right Window:
  • Plot Pane/window: Graphical view of charts are viewable in this window.
  • File window: Files can be browsed, open, modified and saved.
  • Package Manager/Window: List of System and User library packages installed can be viewed, loaded if already installed or new packages can be installed here.
  • Integrated R Help Window: Extensive help support is available; hence any help command will get details populated in this window.
Below video will help you understand basic operations using R Studio:

I am sure this video was useful and helped you understand how to navigate through RStudio. With this you are all set to go head and start practicing R using RStudio. In my next blog, I will begin with “Basic operations for R using R Studio”.

Thank you once again for watching blog video, I hope it was helpful. Kindly share your valuable and kind opinion. Please do not forget to suggest what you would like to understand and hear from me in my future blogs.

Thank you...

Z and T distribution values using R

Hello Data Experts, Let me continue from my last blog http://outstandingoutlier.blogspot.in/2017/08/normality-test-for-data-using-r.html “ Normality test using R as part of advanced Exploratory Data Analysis where I had covered four moments of statistics and key concept around probability distribution, normal distribution and Standard normal distribution. Finally, I had also touched upon how to transform data to run normality test. I will help recap all those 4 moments. Those 4 moments of statistics. First step covers Mean, Median and Mode, it is a measure of central tendency. Second step covers Variance Standard Deviation, Range, it is a measure of dispersion. Third step covers Skewness, it is a measure of asymmetry. Fourth step covers Kurtosis, it is a measure of peakness. To get standardized data use “scale” command using R whereas run “pnorm” command to get probability of a value using Z distribution. To understand if data follows normality we can e

Code Branch and Merge strategies

Learn Git in a Month of Lunches Hello Everyone, IT industry is going through a disruptive evolution where being AGILE and adopting DevOps is the key catalytic agent for accelerating the floor for success. As explained in my earlier blog, they complement each other rather than competing against one another. If Leaders will at the crossroad where in case they need to pick one what should be their pick. There is no right or wrong approaching, it depends on the scenario and dynamics for the program or project. I would personally pick #DevOps over Agile as its supremacy lies in ACCELERATING delivery with RELIABILITY and CONSISTENCY . This path will enable and empower development teams to be more productive and prone to less rework. Does this mean adopting DevOps with any standard will help reap benefits? In this blog, I will focus on importance of one of the standard and best practice around Code branching and merging strategy to get the desired outcome by adopting DevOps. To

“OUTCOME” or “OUTPUT” driven Agile

Hello All,     Nowadays IT industry is bombarded with articles on Agile with loud and clear message #BeLean. Everyone around teaches AGILE as in #GOAGILE, #BEAGILE, #AGILITYLEADS and many more hashtags around #ONLYAGILE. Lean Engineering gurus have been coaching corporates to go #AGILE and be #LEAN. Literal English meaning of being Agile is to be nimble, to be able to adapt to the changing needs of company to achieve goals as to what is desired by business. But why do we need Agility, is it to be able to achieve outcome i.e., #BusinessesNeed with speed i.e., #Velocity? I am perplexed with what I keep hearing around Agile practices and I firmly believe we should try to understand the rational for being Agile by choosing right “O”, either go #Outcome or #Output. What will you prefer without reading this blog, Output or Outcome?   Let me take you two decades back when there was a need for transformation. Transformation from big-bang i.e., #waterfall to iterative i.e., #lea
