Learn the ins and outs of Data Analysis in R!

With the increasing use of statistical languages like R in data analysis, now is the time to get to grips with them!

R is an open-source programming language that has become very important in data science because of its versatility in the field of statistics. R is usually used when the task requires special analysis of data for standalone or distributed computing. R is also perfect for data exploration. It can be used in any kind of analysis work, as it has many tools and is also very extensible.

This course focuses on understanding statistical models and analysing the results whilst learning to work with R. As well as introducing the software to newcomers, it presents basic and more advanced statistics.
