About the training

R is currently one of the most popular tools for data analysis. It is also a tool that helps automating data analysis. You can use R to create your own functions, do complicated calculations, transform and aggregate data, build statistical models or use data mining techniques and in the end present your results on practical and esthetic charts and reports. Since R is an open source language and software there is a large community involved in developing and improving it. Thanks to that R is continuously updated and contains packages using the latest and most advanced techniques in data analysis and statistics. R is widely popular among companies, banks, universities and public institutions.

Who is this training for?

Introduction to R is aimed at people who would like to use programming to automate and enhance their statistical analyses and become comfortable with handling data:

  • Analysts
  • Consultants
  • Managers
  • Statisticians
  • Researchers
  • Students

What will I learn?

After completing the training, participants will be able to:

  • Use R and R Studio with ease
  • Manipulate and aggregate data to extract key information
  • Import and export data to and from XLS, CSV, SAS, SPSS files
  • Use R to build statistical models
  • Create analysis and reports that you can easily re-run with new data
  • Use loops and conditional execution to automate your work
  • Create visual and appealing charts
