R: Getting Started with Data Science - DataRobot

This short tutorial will not only guide you through some basic data analysis methods but it will also show you how to implement some of the more sophisticated techniques available today. We will look into traffic accident data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and try to predict fatal accidents using state-of-the-art statistical learning techniques. If you are interested, download the code at the bottom and follow along as we work through a real world data set. This post is in R while a companion post covers the same techniques in Python. The swirl package is designed to teach people R.
