  • have learned the basic function of R
  • know how to import and export raw data in R
  • be able to create a descriptive and graphical overview of a data set
  • be able to choose the appropriate significance test or statistical model for an available data set and research question
  • be able to conduct this analysis in R and interpret the results

The course is organized with self-learning material (short videos, handout, example data and exercises) and three live and online Q&A sessions. After a short kick-off meeting you watch the videos and do the exercises at your own pace. Within an interval of one week we meet for three Q&A sessions online, where you can ask questions concerning the topics and exercises of the course or your own projects.
