Description:
This course is for people who want to learn to use R: a freely-available computer package for statistics used by professional researchers and statisticians.
R can carry out standard statistical analyses, and also has powerful facilities for users to create their own commands for non-standard analyses or for new statistical methods.
Users of R frequently publish the code for their commands on the internet for others to use.
It will cover the following topics.
- Obtaining the R package from the internet
- Data entry and simple summary statistics
- Basic statistical procedures
- Obtaining and using commands (functions) designed by other researchers
- Developing your own commands (functions) for non-standard analyses
No prior knowledge of statistics is required but prior experience in using statistical software would be beneficial.
