The textbook Data Science and Predictive Analytics: Biomedical and Health Applications using R, authored by Ivo D. Dinov, was published in August 2018 by Springer.[1].

This textbook covers some of the mathematical foundations, computational techniques, and artificial intelligence approaches used in data science research and applications [2].

Using the statistical computing platform R and a broad range of biomedical case-studies, the 23 chapters of the book provide explicit examples of importing, exporting, processing, modeling, visualizing, and interpreting large, multivariate, incomplete, heterogeneous, longitudinal, and incomplete datasets (Big data)[3].
