Do you want to take your data analysis skills to the next level?
The R statistical computing environment has become a standard for scientific data analysis, visualization and reproducible research.
At the HIE, we offer an introductory course to help you climb the steep learning curve.
This five-day course is aimed at postgraduate students and staff, and is for newcomers to R, as well as intermediate users.
The course covers
- Basics of R (data entry, manipulation, tabulation, special data types)
- Visualisation (basic and advanced plotting of data)
- Statistical analyses (basic statistics, linear models)
- Project management (workflow and organization, principles of reproducible research).
The course will consist of short lectures with ample time for hands-on exercises.
The exercises are set up with different levels: more advanced students can work on more difficult problems.
We assume that you have completed some introductory statistics course at university level, but no previous programming experience is required.
