Introduction to Statistics using R
Statistics allows us to collect, analyze, and interpret data. The R programming language is one of the most widely-used tools for data analysis and statistical programming. Its easy to learn syntax, built-in statistical functions, and powerful graphing capabilities make it an ideal tool to learn and apply statistical concepts.
In this class, you will master the most widely used statistical methods, while also learning to design efficient and informative studies, to perform statistical analyses using R, and to critique the statistical methods used in published studies. No prior knowledge of statistics or R is required and emphasis is on concepts and applications, with many opportunities for hands-on work.
