Objectives

 

The aim of the course is to put you in the position to start analysing data using R. Every student exits the course with a first script that reads in data, performs some basic statistical analysis, and saves/outputs the results.

Thank you for using your own laptop. We will work with the basic installation of R (from cran.r-project.org) and the interface RStudio (from rstudio.com, desktop version). Pre-installation of R and RStudio on your laptop is not necessary but will save time.

Please note that this session is  face-to-face, not online.
