R is a freely available software environment for statistical computing and graphics. This course encourages the use of R for extensive exploratory data analysis and the use of advanced statistical modeling tools for data analysis.
Who should attend?
Data analysists with experience in statistics will benefit from this course. The course is not intended as a first course in statistics or in R.
How you will benefit?
You will learn to use R for advanced statistical analysis and graphics. All practical exercises with solutions are included with the course material and can be followed after the course.
