Course introducing the statistical software "R"

This course will provide an introduction to the statistical software R for people

with a basic knowledge of statistical concepts. R has become the lingua franca

in statistics and many applied fields. The flexibility and large number of

user-contributed packages makes it an extremely useful statistical toolbox

for almost any data analysis and visualization problem.

 

We will introduce the windows version of R (downloadable for free at

www.r-project.org) for people with little or no prior knowledge of R.

 

The subjects covered will include:

 

• Introduction to the R language
• Importing data into R
• Graphical functions
• ANOVA and regression models, r k tables, and chi-square tests

The course takes place on Monday 17 January 2011 9.00 - 16.00.

 

It's a free course, however, the number of participants is limited.  

 

Deadline for signing up is January 13 2011.
