This short course is especially aimed at beginners in R with some programming/scripting experience and will consist of introductory lectures, coupled with hands on exercises.
Day 1: (Monday, March 16th) – 13h-17h
The R programming language will be introduced and exercises will allow you to get some hands on experience in running elementary R commands.
Day 2: (Tuesday, March 17th) – 13h-17h
We will focus on programming in R and introduce important R classes like data.frame for tables or lists for unorganized data as well as elementary R programming.
Day 3: (Wednesday, March 18th) – 13h-17h
We will give an introduction to the “split-apply-combine” strategy for data analysis and also look at real life examples of how to reshape and “tidy” data.
At the end of the course, you should be able to use R instead of Excel as your main tool for data handling tasks.
