Course Overview

In this R Programming course, you will master the basics of this beautiful open source language, including factors, lists and data frames. With the knowledge gained in this course, you will be ready to undertake your first very own data analysis. With over 2 million users worldwide R is rapidly becoming the leading programming language in statistics and data science. Every year, the number of R users grows by 40% and an increasing number of organizations are using it in their day-to-day activities. Leverage the power of R by completing this R online course today!

R programming along with a substantial knowledge of statistics can help candidates to have a great career in data Analytics. R is also an widely used tool in many big firms like top Banks, IT, Retail, Healthcare, Pharma, Supply chain and logistics firms. Analyzing large datasets can be done in a shorter period with the help of R programming. There is a huge shortage in the market for professionals with skills in R programming which makes it more interesting to pursue. Since R is a free software it is being widely used which creates a lot of opportunities for professional who are looking to pursue a career in R Programming.

In this course you will learn how to program in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples.

Who should take this course

Any Graduate/Post graduate willing to learn R Programming. Web developers who want to implement data analysis features in their webpage Everybody interested in statistics and data sciences Researchers who perform data analysis including graphs Professionals working in analytics or related fields
