Programming in R

Introduction

R is a statistical environment and programming language that is widely used among statisticians and data scientists to work with data. This one-day workshop will be your guide, taking you through different programming aspects with R.

You will learn to work with powerful R tools and techniques. You’ll be able to boost your productivity with the most popular R packages and tackle data structures such as data frames, lists, and matrices. You’ll see how to create vectors, handle variables, and perform other core functions. You’ll be able to tackle issues with data input/output and will learn to work with strings and dates.

Moving forward, we’ll look into more advanced concepts such as metaprogramming with R and functional programming. Finally, you’ll get a glimpse of R's data visualization and data manipulation capabilities.

Testimonials

"The 5-day workshop Data Science with R gave us a glimpse of the possibilities that R has to offer. During the workshop we got to work on actual current projects under the supervision of Jeroen, which was very insightful. Jeroen gave us a lot of practical examples and tips. We’re not quite there yet, but Data Science Workshops gave us a head start!"
