Business AnalyticsDefinitionBusiness analytics (BA) refers to the field of exploration and investigation of data generated by businesses.
Business Intelligence (BI) is the seamless dissemination of information through the organization, which primarily involves business metrics both past and current for the use of decision support in businesses.
Data Mining (DM) is the process of discovering new patterns from large data using algorithms and statistical methods.
To differentiate between the three, BI is mostly current reports, BA is models to predict and strategize and DM matches patterns in big data.

Business Analytics
-Information Ladder Data → Information → Knowledge → Understanding → Insight → Wisdom
Whereas the first two steps can be scientifically exactly defined, the upper parts belong to the domain of psychology and
philosophy.

What is a Data Scientista data scientist is simply a person who can
write code understand statistics derive insights from data
Oh really, is this a Data Scientist ?a data scientist is simply a person who can write code = in R,Python,Java, SQL, Hadoop (Pig,HQL,MR) etc
= for data storage, querying, summarization, visualization
= how efficiently, and in time (fast results?)
= where on databases, on cloud, servers
and understand enough statistics
to derive insights from data so business can make decisions

R -Big Data Packages http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.html
● The RHIPE package, started by Saptarshi Guha and now developed by a core team via GitHub, provides an interface between R and Hadoop for analysis of large complex data wholly from within R using the Divide and Recombine approach to big data. ( link )
● The rmr package by Revolution Analytics also provides an interface between R and Hadoop for a Map/Reduce programming framework. ( link )
● A related package, segue package by Long, permits easy execution of embarassingly parallel task on Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) at Amazon. ( link )
● The RProtoBuf package provides an interface to Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data. This package can be used in R code to read data streams from other systems in a distributed MapReduce setting where data is serialized and passed back and forth between tasks.
● The HistogramTools package provides a number of routines useful for the construction, aggregation, manipulation, and plotting of large numbers of Histograms such as those created by Mappers in a MapReduce application.
R -Hadoop Packages https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/RHadoop/wiki
● plyrmr - higher level plyr-like data processing for structured data, powered by rmr
● rmr - functions providing Hadoop MapReduce functionality in R
● rhdfs - functions providing file management of the HDFS from within R
● rhbase - functions providing database management for the HBase distributed database from within R
http://amplab-extras.github.io/SparkR-pkg/
SparkR is an R package that provides a light-weight frontend to use Apache Spark from R.
https://github.com/nexr/RHive
RHive is an R extension facilitating distributed computing via HIVE query. RHive allows easy usage of HQL(Hive SQL) in R, and
allows easy usage of R objects and R functions in Hive.
R - Cloud Computinghttp://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html
R -Big Data Packages http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.htmlLarge memory and out-of-memory data
● The biglm package by Lumley uses incremental computations to offer lm() and glm() functionality to data sets stored outside of R's main memory.
● The ff package by Adler et al. offers file-based access to data sets that are too large to be loaded into memory, along with a number of higher-level functions.
● The bigmemory package by Kane and Emerson permits storing large objects such as matrices in memory (as well as via files) and uses external pointer objects to refer to them. .
● A large number of database packages, and database-alike packages (such as sqldf by Grothendieck and data.table ● The HadoopStreaming package provides a framework for writing map/reduce scripts for use in Hadoop Streaming; it also
facilitates operating on data in a streaming fashion which does not require Hadoop.● The speedglm package permits to fit (generalised) linear models to large data. ● The biglars package by Seligman et al can use the ff to support large-than-memory datasets for least-angle regression,
lasso and stepwise regression.● The bigrf package provides a Random Forests implementation with support for parellel execution and large memory.● The MonetDB.R package allows R to access the MonetDB column-oriented, open source database system as a backend.
C’est la vie
IN INDUSTRY - a R expert is one who knows which package to use from
IN RESEARCH- a R expert is one who creates a new popular and improved package
