ONE WEEK FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAM
ON
DATA ANALYSIS USING OPEN SOURCE
STATISTICAL PACKAGE R

DATES: 20th TO 26th FEBRUARY 2017

Organized by

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

CENTRE FOR GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS

 ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
In todays world it is most difficult to avoid the term research. It is because of the
continuous efforts of the researcher that we are experiencing a giant leap in this
century. A research is initiated to have some practical consequences. This
programme has been designed to provide clear guidelines on how to undertake
research as well as highlights the realities of undertaking research, including more
common pitfalls. Looking at these requirements of research, the Centre for
Governance Systems, Gujarat Technological University, Ahmedabad, has planned
to organize this Faculty Development Program on Open Source Statistical
Package R.

What is R?
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles
and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. R provides
a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical
tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ) and graphical techniques,
and is highly extensible. One of Rs strengths is the ease with which well-designed
publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and
formulae where needed. With interest in the language growing, as shown on
language popularity indexes such as TIobe, PyPL, and Redmonk, R first appeared
in the 1990s and has served as an implementation of the S statistical programming
language.

Why R?
It is free, multiplatform (this enables easy collaboration) and open source (it
ensures the reproducibility of the analysis). In R new packages are available as
quickly as the theory is published. Also there is a lot of documentation available
over the internet.
Note: The Programme is for Faculties/ Research Scholars/ Industry Delegates.
Students who have not completed their post-graduation will not be permitted
to attend this FDP.
