About the course:

The Statistical Programming course teaches students how to load R and R Studio onto their PC. Students will then learn basic scripting commands and will be introduced to a vast library of functions to perform various statistical analyses. Objectives: Explain the idiosyncrasies of R compared to other languages. Create a script file to execute complex commands repeatedly. Load a data set from a file. Use R to manipulate data (filtering, coding, sorting, creating new variables). Understand the usage of 'if', 'for', and 'while'. Understand vectors. Use basic visualization tools.
