In this course you will learn how to do programming in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples.

The course will cover the following material each week:

  • Week 1: Overview of R, R data types and objects, reading and writing data
  • Week 2: Control structures, functions, scoping rules, dates and times
  • Week 3: Loop functions, debugging tools
  • Week 4: Simulation, code profiling

Duration:

Probably one of the best courses to join, if you want to start learning R part time. The course is relatively light on weekly engagement (3 – 4 hours / week). The course provides good introduction to basics of R, reading and writing data from R, Control structures & functions in R along with loop and code profiling.

You will need to take up a more advanced course before you start building your predictive models and perform your visualizations on R.
