Goal
The goal of this kick-start course is to:
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.
