Abstract:
|
In the new age of data technology, data collection takes place at a higher pace and faster rate than ever before leading to larger and larger data sets. For statisticians skills to manage and handle such massive data bases are vital. We provide a graphical user interface, based on the RMySQL and DBI packages, that allows users to easily connect and browse through data sets in databases. Following the SQL SELECT command, the interface allows graphical access to selecting subsets of data, basic aggregations and sampling routines. Views of the underlying SQL queries provides opportunity for self-directed acquisition of command- line techniques.
