DESCRIPTION

The “R Programming: Practical skills for data analysis” course is a comprehensive two-day training designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in R, a powerful language for data analysis and visualization. On the first day, attendees will be introduced to the R programming environment, including installing and navigating RStudio. The curriculum covers essential R syntax, data types, and the creation and manipulation of fundamental data structures such as vectors, matrices, and data frames. Participants will also learn to import and export data from various sources, equipping them with the skills to handle real-world datasets efficiently.

On the second day, the focus shifts to data manipulation and visualization, key competencies for any data analyst. Through hands-on sessions, learners will master the use of the dplyr package for data wrangling and the ggplot2 package for creating insightful visualizations. The course also includes an introduction to basic statistical analysis, providing a foundation for interpreting data trends and patterns. Additionally, participants will learn to create professional reports using R Markdown and explore the extensive ecosystem of R packages. The training culminates in a practical case study, allowing attendees to apply their new skills to real-world scenarios, ensuring they leave with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in R programming.
