Data Analysis in R (online course)

This course is aimed at teaching the students the basics of statistical programming in R. While doing so, the students will learn to understand statistical models and analysing/interpreting the results given by the statistical software. 

We start with the data structures present in R (vectors, matrices, lists, data frames) and how to perform simple operations with them. Then we learn how to import the data in R and how to save the output of your analyses.

The next step would be to learn logical operations and key elements to navigate through datasets. Once the students have familiarised themselves with these basic concepts we then move to more advanced programming concepts such as understanding and writing of functions, string operations, and list operations.

Who should join?

Students and professionals with a basic knowledge of statistics (at least an undergraduate course is a pre-requisite) who are interested in learning the basics and some more advanced skills of R, and applying them to solving their data analysis problems. If you have doubts about your eligibility for the course, please contact us: graduatewinterschool@vu.nl.
