3 Prepare and Explore Data in the Database

Use Oracle Machine Learning for R functions to prepare data for analysis and to perform exploratory analysis of the data.

These functions make it easier for you to prepare very large enterprise database-resident data for modeling. They are described the following topics:

• Prepare Data in the Database Using Oracle Machine Learning for R
  Using OML4R, you can prepare data for analysis in the database.
• Explore Data
  Oracle Machine Learning for R provides functions that enable you to perform exploratory data analysis.
• Data Manipulation Using OREdplyr
  OREdplyr package functions transparently implement dplyr functions for use with ore.frame and ore.numeric objects.
• About Using Third-Party Packages on the Client
  In Oracle Machine Learning for R, if you want to use functions from an open source R package from The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) or other third-party R package, then you would generally do so in the context of embedded R execution.
