Course Description: 

In this learning-by-doing course, doctoral candidates will receive an introduction on how to use R for statistical data analysis. 

Topics:

  • introduction to R and the RStudio IDE
  • import/export data
  • data management using dplyr 
  • visualisation using ggplot2
  • basic statistical analyses in R
  • introduction to regression analysis in R

In addition the course will show how to do reproducible research by using R. Therefore we will use the knitr (https://yihui.name/knitr/) and rmarkdown (https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/) package.

Requirements: The course requires that everyone already has some very basic R knowledge, i.e. knowledge about object types like vectors, data frames and lists. One can gain such basic knowledge with the swirl course (https://swirlstats.com/) R programming.

Important: Please bring your own laptop with you and install R and RStudio (https://www.rstudio.com/). In addition your laptop should be able to connect to a wireless network.
