Description

The course includes a series of video lectures combined with a variety of conceptual and hands-on activities to help you develop skills in manipulating and analysing data, interpreting results, and visualising your data effectively.

R is widely recognised as a powerful programming language and environment for data manipulation, statistical computing, and graphical display. R provides a variety of tools and techniques and is easily extensible.

It’s an open-source programming language and a vital tool for data wrangling and analysis. R also includes a robust data handling and storage facility, as well as an extensive, integrated collection of tools for data analysis and graphical display.

You’ll explore all of this and more as you work through the three modules of the course and test your understanding with the knowledge tests at the end of each section.

Module 1: R Programming for Beginners

  • Getting Started with R;
  • Exploring R Vectors;
  • Leveraging R with Matrices, Arrays, and Lists;
  • Understanding Data Frames, Factors, and Strings

Module 2: Datasets in R

  • Loading and Saving Data;
  • Transforming Data;
  • Selecting, Filtering, Ordering, and Grouping Data;
  • Joining and Visualising Data

Module 3: Statistical Analysis and Modelling in R

  • Working with Probability Distributions;
  • Understanding and Interpreting Statistical Tests;
  • Statistical Analysis on Your Data;
  • Performing Regression Analysis

Who is this course for?

The aim of the course is for you to develop a strong foundation in the R programming language that you can put to effective use in the field of data analysis.

Requirements

Strong critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, a strong background in mathematics (e.g., advanced algebra), and some experience with coding.

Career path

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
