<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">The goal of this kick-start course is to:</p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1"></p><ul><li>Introduce the structure and philosophy behind the R-language.<br></li><li>Introduce a number of tools to work with R.<br></li><li>Give hands-on experience in solving data problems from the lab<br></li></ul><p></p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">This is an introductory course to speed up the study of R.</p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1"><b>Target audience</b></p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">Primarily targeting researchers from academia, but participants from the private sector are also welcome.</p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1"><b>Description</b></p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">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.</p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">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.</p>
<p class="m_-7108251763198959737gmail-p1">Participants will get a certificate after successfully completing this course.</p>
