Course Overview

R is a programming language for organizing and analyzing statistical data. R is a popular language for data mining, used for bioinformatics and statistical analysis - an essential skill in the era of big data. This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to the R programming language. You’ll learn to manipulate and analyze data working with a real-world dataset (published in Ecology in 2013). You’ll start with an introduction to data analysis before developing rich experimental designs to collect rel...Show More
