On May 19, 2017, BioSB organises the fourth edition of the Kick Start R
course in Amsterdam.

*Goal*

The goal of this kick-start course is to:


   - Introduce the structure and philosophy behind the R-language.
   - Introduce a number of tools to work with R.
   - Give hands-on experience in solving data problems from the lab

This is an introductory course to speed up the study of R.

*Target audience*

Primarily targeting researchers from academia, but participants from the
private sector are also welcome.

*Description*

This is a one-day introduction to the possibilities of the statistical
calculation environment R for those who would like to use it, or have
already started using R for statistical data analysis but would like to
obtain a bit more background. We will start with a lecture in which the
philosophy behind the R-language will be explained. An understanding of the
data structures in R allows you to work more efficiently with R. We will
show some of the advanced possibilities of R as well as where to find
tutorials if you want to know more about those techniques. Most of the day
will be devoted to a hands-on tutorial. The tutorial contains material from
an introductory master course that is taught at the VU University. The
manual contains material and references to material for self-study.

Topics that we will discuss: R language basics, installing R and
R-packages, finding help, using R-studio, making dynamic reports, model
fitting, reading/writing data from/to files, making publication-ready
graphs, books and tutorials on the use of R.

Participants will get a certificate after successfully completing this
course.
