About this course

R is a premier language for statistical analysis and data science, providing the essential tools necessary to turn raw data into meaningful insights. This course provides a clear path for anyone looking to build a technical foundation in data handling without any prior coding experience. You will transition from understanding basic programming logic to being able to manipulate complex datasets, perform calculations, and write efficient scripts for data processing. By the end of this text-based program, you will have the skills needed to organize data effectively and prepare it for advanced statistical modeling. What you'll learn: - Understand basic R syntax, variable assignment, and core data types such as numeric and logical values - Apply arithmetic and relational operators to perform complex calculations and data comparisons - Organize information using foundational data structures including vectors, matrices, and dataframes - Implement control flow statements and built-in functions to automate repetitive tasks and logic - Practice modern data manipulation techniques using the native pipe operator for cleaner, readable code - Apply data cleaning and transformation strategies to prepare structured datasets for analysis The course begins with fundamental terminology and environment concepts before moving into practical written exercises that cover data organization and logical programming. You will work through structured explanations that build your confidence in writing R code from scratch. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior programming experience who want a solid foundation in R for data science or research.
