Course Outline / Curriculum
Section 1: Introduction to Basics
Take your first steps with R. Discover the basic data types in R and assign your first variable.
Section 2: Vectors
Analyze gambling behaviour using vectors. Create, name and select elements from vectors.
Section 3: Matrices
Learn how to work with matrices in R. Do basic computations with them and demonstrate your knowledge by analyzing the Star Wars box office figures.
Section 4: Factors
R stores categorical data in factors. Learn how to create, subset and compare categorical data.
Section 5: Data Frames
When working R, you’ll probably deal with Data Frames all the time. Therefore, you need to know how to create one, select the most interesting parts of it, and order them.
Section 6: Lists
Lists allow you to store components of different types. Section 6 will show you how to deal with lists.
Section 7: Basic Graphics
Discover R’s packages to do graphics and create your own data visualizations.
Schedule Dates and Booking
There are currently no scheduled dates.
Please note that this course needs a minimum of 6 delegates to schedule a course. You can choose to be added to the waiting list by clicking the button below, and we will contact you when we have enough delegates interested. Should we not get enough delegates, we will refund or credit your paid booking.
Should you need this course urgently, the following options are available:
- Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will schedule the course as soon as possible.
- If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have paid for 3 delegates at least.
