You will learn the skills you need to get started using R for a range of analytical and data visualisation tasks. R makes a good choice for data science; it is widely used and once you learn the basics you can easily extend your knowledge to more specialist applications.

In our introduction to R basics training course, you will learn how to get started with this powerful analytical tool. Using simple data examples, you will get the skills you need to import data, manage data, summarise data and visualise data. In short, our course gives you the foundation you need to begin your journey of discovery into data science using R.

This is both an analytics training course and an introduction to R programming. This one-day course is designed to give you a foundation for learning R, and an introduction to data analysis and visualisation using one of the most widely used applications.

Anyone who wants to learn R, and to carry out data analysis or data visualisation, regardless of your background or field of study.

This R programming and analytics training course covers a range of topics to get you learning R, including:

• The R help system
• Basic maths
• Handling and managing data:
  • Import
  • Export
  • Rearranging data
  • Subsets
  • Data types
• Summarising data
  • Averages
  • Tabulation
• Visualising data
  • Histograms
  • Bar charts
  • Box-whisker plots
  • Scatter plots
  • Exporting graphics

No prerequisites are needed, this analytics training course is designed for novices and no R programming, computer language or statistical knowledge is required at all.

You’ll simply need a computer and the R program. A spreadsheet is also helpful, but not essential. Online courses are delivered using the Zoom software, which is available for Windows or Macintosh computers. Support material is supplied online, usually via Google Classroom.

You can get R from the R-Project website. We also recommend using RStudio, which is a useful “wrapper” for R. RStudio is very useful and has many additional features that help “drive” R.

The duration of this Statistical Analysis Course is one day (starting at 9.30am and ending around 4.30pm).
