Introduction to R
Course Summary: This course is aimed at people who wish to familiarise themselves with the freely available statistical analysis software R. R is a command language that can be used to carry out standard statistical analyses but also has powerful facilities to enable users to create their own routines or implement methods designed by other researchers. The course will: introduce participants to the R environment; explain how to enter data and run simple descriptive statistical methods; describe how to run standard procedures; show how to run commands designed by other researchers and how to develop commands for non-standard analyses.
