Introduction to R

Data visualisation, manipulation and analysis
The world is increasingly data-driven. R is the avant garde of data science. You learn some of the most modern techniques in data science and will be able to create stunning graphs with ease, develop automatic reports and get insights from your data.

The main purpose of this training is to allow the trainee to be able to independently work with R.

This is a heavily hands-on training featuring topics like:

  •        grammar of graphics,
  •        grammar of data manipulation
  •        Rmarkdown for reports generation.

Target audience:

The course is targeted to people who are ready to move past Excel in their data analysis. The course does not assume any previous knowledge of programming/scripting.

R is used widely in the data science world and this means pretty much every sector by now – be it IT, fintech, medcine or government sector.

  • It will help you to automate data-driven reports.
  • It helps you to easily understand your data by visualizing it and communicate the results using publication-ready graphs.
  • It helps you to apply the most modern data analytics/machine learning concepts on your data.

 

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  •        create visualisations using grammar of graphic language
  •        create reports using rmarkdown
  •        process of data elegantly using grammar of data manipulation (dplyr and friends)

 

Prerequisites to the course (recommended):

The course does not have any prerequisites.

 

Training Principles:

The course will be in hands-on format where topics are first introduced by the lecturer, then solved individually.

The prerequisite for issuing the certificate is full participation in training.

Osalejate tagasiside koolitusele:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Koolitus oli hästi ettevalmistatud, snäkid, kohvipausid, lõunapausi soe söök. Arvutid töötasid, toas oli soe ja kraanist tuli soe vesi. Koolitaja Indrek Seppo oli 120% väga hea! Mõistlikult oli rakendatud hands - on ja loengulist osa. Ainest sai ülevaate ja edasiõppimise võimalused on teada. Koolituse hinna ja kvaliteedi suhe oli paigas (sest ega see mingi odav koolitus polnud) Jäin väga rahule ja isegi kahju, et kursus lõppes, oleksin ühe korra veel kohale tulnud."
