Big Data in R
Talk description
Big data takes many forms. Sometimes it’s large CSV files on your computer. Sometimes it’s data in an external database. Sometimes it’s data in a corporate data lake. In this talk, we will look at how to use the power of dplyr and other R packages to work with big data in various formats to arrive at meaningful insight using a familiar and consistent set of tools.
