On April 24, 2015, BioSB organises the third edition of the Kick Start R course in Amsterdam. This is a one-day introduction course for researchers about 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. The main goal is to provide the participant with a kick-start in R. Clearly, good and practically applicable knowledge of R will only be gained by subsequent self-study. A kick start is achieved through the following sub-goals: 1. The participant will become acquainted with the structure and philosophy behind the R-language. The participant will thereby be able to gain a quicker understanding of the R-language compared to the "immediate problem solving" approach taken by most (online) manuals. 2. The participant will become acquainted with a number of tools specific to the R-language. This will help the participant to start using R quickly in a professional manner This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which offers training and education for in bioinformatics and systems biology.
