Data Analysis with R programming

Course Description
R is a programming language for statistical analyses and graphics, supported by the R Core Team and
the R Foundation for Statistical Analyses. It is free and is a popularly used programming language
known for its versatility and user-friendliness. It is a great option for data management, data
visualization, and statistical analysis, with an active development community that is constantly
releasing new packages, making R code even easier to use.

Learning Outcome
● Getting familiar with R interface and programming language
● Read various standard of data formats into R
● Data preparation for descriptive and inferential statistical analysis
● Perform statistical analysis using R
● Produce publication quality graphs
● Perform basic statistical modeling in R
