The R programming language is gaining popularity, especially for data processing using the most common statistical methods, mainly due to its power and ease of use. This course will provide the student with the practical knowledge necessary to carry out a data analysis in this programming environment in an autonomous way. It starts from a very basic level, explaining the rudiments of R programming and basic statistical techniques. Then, the most common data processing situations are addressed: datapresentation , hypothesis testing, and model fitting.

No previous knowledge of R is required. On the other hand, a basic knowledge of statistics is necessary, since the theoretical concepts that will be used are not strictly part of the course content.

The classes will be eminently practical: students will have to study the material provided beforehand, and the classroom hours will be largely devoted to trying to acquire skill in the art of data processing.

The course is aimed at doctorate students in the area of Sciences, professionals from the University of Navarra and CIMA, and professionals from outside the University of Navarra.
