Data Science with Microsoft Azure and R

Video description

In this Data Science with Microsoft Azure and R training course, expert author Stephen Elston will teach you how to develop and deploy effective machine learning models in the Microsoft Azure Machine Learning (ML) environment. This course is designed for users that are familiar with R.

You will start with an overview of Azure ML, then move into an introduction to R in Azure ML. From there, Stephen will teach you about data munging and SQL in Azure ML, as well as how to use the dplyr package, install R packages in Azure ML, and reshape data with tidyr. This video tutorial also covers feature selection and dimensionality reduction, functional programming with R, and R object communications. Finally, you will learn about Azure ML web services, including how to create and update an Azure ML web service.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of developing and deploying your own ML models in the Microsoft Azure ML environment.
