Prerequisite
This course is designed for people interested in data science, computational statistics and machine learning and have basic experiences with them. It will be also useful for advanced undergraduate students and first year PhD students in data analysis, statistics or bioinformatics, who wish to understand how to manage big data with Hadoop using R programming language.
We expect that the learners will also have basic experiences with linux, bash and R and are capable to download and run virtual machine.
