Course aims
To create an opportunity for students to get acquainted with statistical programming language and computing environment R. To support the development of practical skills for managing, describing, visualizing and modelling data in R. To create a preconditions for using R language and programming functionality on various research problems.
Brief description of the course
R is a language for statistical computing and graphics. It provides a rich environment for working with, visualizing, and analyzing data.
The course will serve as a basic introduction to R language and its statistical and graphical capabilities. It covers data handling, data manipulation, graphics, functions, basic programming, and a range of elementary statistical techniques such as classical statistical tests, regression and analysis of variance. The main objective of the course is to familiarize students with the R environment and language, to enable them to develop practical skills for independent problem solving and to expand their knowledge of R on their own.
Course covers the following topics: What is R? R-Studio. Basics of R-language. Creating and accessing objects in R.
Managing data in R (Reading and writing data, Manipulating data9.Managing data using dplyr package. Functions in R.Basic programming in R (Writing functions, Loops and conditional statements). Descriptive statistics in R. Graphics (Basic plotting; Building a graph; Customizing a graph; Advanced graphics; Plotting with ggplot2 package, Plotting with lattice package).
Statistical tests in R. Statistical models in R (Linear regression, Logistic regression, Analysis of variance).
Introduction to more advanced statistical methods. Topics to be determined by student interests/requirements
Class sessions are broken down into (short) lecture component and lab component, with an emphasis on demonstration and hands-on experience.
