Exploring Operations
Research with R
Exploring Operations Research with R
shows how the R programming language
can be a valuable tool – and way of thinking – which can be successfully applied
to the field of operations research (OR). This approach is centred on the idea
of the future OR professional as someone who can combine knowledge of key
OR techniques (e.g., simulation, linear programming, data science, and network
science) with an understanding of R, including tools for data representation, ma-
nipulation, and analysis. The core aim of the book is to provide a self-contained
introduction to R (both Base R and the tidyverse) and show how this knowledge
can be applied to a range of OR challenges in the domains of public health, infec-
tious diseases, and energy generation, and thus provide a platform to develop
actionable insights to support decision making.
Features
• Can serve as a primary textbook for a comprehensive course in R, with applica-
tions in OR
• Suitable for post-graduate students in OR and data science, with a focus on the
computational perspective of OR
• The text will also be of interest to professional OR practitioners as part of their
continuing professional development
• Linked to a Github repository including code, solutions, data sets, and other
ancillary material.
