Introduction to R programming (EN)

Description

Learn about the key functions of the R language and the principles of its use for effective data analysis.

The R programming language, together with its integrated development environment RStudio, constitutes a leading open-source platform for data analysis and processing.
This course provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to the R language, including fundamental commands, manipulation of diverse data structures, the development of user-defined functions, data visualization techniques, and the foundations of reproducible reporting. A strong emphasis is placed on practical application, with exercises based on real-world datasets. The curriculum also incorporates contemporary tools such as the ggplot2 package for advanced graphical representation and the broader tidyverse ecosystem for efficient data handling and analysis.
