DataCamp

Scalable Data Processing in R

Engineering and Technology

Short Description

Learn how to write scalable code for working with big data in R using the bigmemory and iotools packages.

Long Description

This course addresses the challenge faced by R programmers when working with datasets that exceed the available RAM capacity. By default, all variables are stored in memory, which can lead to issues. In this course, you will acquire the necessary tools to process, explore, and analyze data directly from disk. Additionally, you will learn how to implement the split-apply-combine approach and write scalable code using the bigmemory and iotools packages. Throughout the course, you will work with the Federal Housing Finance Agency's publicly available dataset, which documents all mortgages held or securitized by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from 2009 to 2015.
