Performing Population Data Analytics using R
So far, we talked about how to use Mahout to solve various machine learning problems. Now, we are going to explain another tool/language called R, which has built-in support for various mathematical and statistical operations.
Getting ready
To perform this recipe, you should have R installed on your machine. You can download the installer from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/.
How to do it...
In this recipe, we are going to learn some basic operations that one can perform using R. To start with, we will have one dataset that has information about Australia's population in various states. This is what the dataset looks like:
Year NSW Vic. Qld SA WA Tas. NT ACT Aust. 1917 1904 1409 683 440 306 193 5 3 4941 1927 2402 1727 873 565 392 211 4 8 6182 1937 2693 1853 993 589 457 233 6 11 6836 1947 2985 2055 1106 646 502 257 11 17 7579 1957 3625 2656 1413 873 688 326 21 38 9640 1967 4295 3274 1700 1110 879 375 62 103 11799 1977 5002 3837 2130 1286...
