Basic Statistical with RStudio course

Presentation:

R is a free and open program (www.r-project.org) that is increasingly establishing itself as the most widely used statistical package in research and university education, although it is currently present in the business sector. Failure to provide a menu-based environment makes it has a slower learning curve, but once overcome makes it an excellent tool for statistical analysis, programming functions and graphical representation of results.

The Basic Statistics with RStudio Course is designed with a practical purpose to learn the basic operations of R, its syntax, as well as an introduction to basic statistics. The necessary syntax will be provided for the student to replicate and explore. Emphasis will be placed on the implementation and interpretation of results in RStudio.

To take this course, the assistant must use his own laptop.
