Description

This is an introductory course to statistics and R programming. For the previous edition of this course, please refer to this page.
The R part is offered in 4 slow-paced practicums for absolute beginners, followed by 3 fast-paced practicums of statistical modules.
For practical exercises we will use R programming language and R Studio.

The statistics material is offered in 3 consecutive modules (please see Course Syllabus below), each containing a morning lecture and an afternoon practicum in a computer class. These practicums are focused on using statistics in R, with the purpose to demonstrate and reinforce understanding of concepts introduced in the lectures, rather than teaching R programming.
