Join our book club as we explore R for Data Science, a must-read for anyone looking to master data analysis. This book offers a comprehensive guide to data manipulation, visualization, and modeling using R. You can find a free online version of the book here. Perfect for beginners and experienced users alike, it will transform the way you handle data!
