R is the language of big data—a statistical programming
language that helps describe, mine and test relationships between large amounts
of data. Learn how to Model statistical relationships using graphs,
calculations, tests, and other analysis tools. Learn how to enter and modify
data; create charts, scatter plots, and histograms; examine outliers; calculate
correlations; and compute regressions, bivariate associations, and statistics
for three or more variables.
We will pick you from the bottom, install R in your computer, show you how to use built-in datasets, import your own data into the programme,create charts from bar…pie.hitogram to boxplots. We will also show you how to run frequencies and descriptives, transform variable as well as coding missing data. You will also learn how to analyze subgroups, create charts of association, calculate correlations, create charts and statistics for three or more variables and finish with creation of crosstabs for categorical variables.
