This book will teach you how to do data science with R: You’ll learn how to get your data into R, get it into the most useful structure, transform it, visualise it and model it. In this book, you will find a practicum of skills for data science. Just as a chemist learns how to clean test tubes and stock a lab, you’ll learn how to clean data and draw plots—and many other things besides. These are the skills that allow data science to happen, and here you will find the best practices for doing each of these things with R. You’ll learn how to use the grammar of graphics, literate programming, and reproducible research to save time. You’ll also learn how to manage cognitive resources to facilitate discoveries when wrangling, visualising, and exploring data.
El Objetivo del paquete aprendeR es facilitar que nuevas personas puedan R moderno con una curva de aprendizaje baja, y evitando que el inglés sea una barrera para que se puedan centrar en el aprendizaje competencial de R. Se incluyen traducciones al castellano de tutoriales presentes en otros paquetes (learnr, tutorial.helpers, r4ds.tutorials, ...), y eventualmente nuevos tutoriales más adelante.
In the Developmental Intelligence Laboratory, we are interested in understanding fundamental cognitive mechanisms of human intelligence, human learning, and human interaction and communication in everyday activities. To do so, we collect and analyze micro-level multimodal behavioral data using state-of-the-art sensing and computational techniques. One of our primary research aims is to understand human learning and early development. How do young children acquire fundamental knowledge of the world? How do they select and process the information around them and learn from scratch? How do they learn to move their bodies and to communicate and interact with others? Learning this kind of knowledge and skills is the core of human intelligence. To understand how human learners achieve the learning goal, the primary approach in our research is to attach GoPro-like cameras on the head of young children to record egocentric video from their point of view. Using this innovative approach, we've been collecting video data of children’s everyday activities, such as playing with their parents and their peers, reading books with parents and caregivers, and playing outside. We've been using state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining approaches to analyze high-density behavioral data. This research line will ultimately solve the mystery on why human children are such efficient learners. Moreover, the findings from our research will be used to help improve learning of children with developmental deficits. A complimentary research line is to explore how human learning can teach us about how machines can learn. Can we model and simulate how a human child learns and develops? To this end, our research aims at bridging and connecting developmental science in psychology and machine learning and computer vision in computer science.
