Write your first R code, and discover vectors, matrices, data frames and lists. Write your first R code, and discover vectors, matrices, data frames and lists. Anytime you see a program dominated by ANOVA, t-tests, linear regression, and generally speaking, stuff published in any statistics 101 textbook dating back to 1930 (when computers did not exist), you are not dealing with actual data science. While it is true that data science has many flavors and does involve a bit of old-fashioned statistical science, most of the statistical theory behind data science has been entirely rewritten in the last 10 years, and in many occasions, invented from scratch to solve big data problems.
