Hands-on introduction to the R environment

Summary

Hands-on introduction to the R environment

Institute of Chemistry, Vietnam, Hanoi during 11th - 12th November 2013.

R-Project is an extraordinary resource for statistics and data analysis, maintained and supported by a wide range of researchers worldwide. R is a language with its own grammar, vocabulary, phrases, and literature. Like any language, it can be extremely powerful for you once you have mastered a few fundamentals. Attend the course and join the R community!

Objective

This introduction to R, an "environment for statistical computing and graphics'' is not an introduction to statistics with R. Rather, the objective of the course is to make the audience familiar with the R environment and the possibilities it offers, well beyond statistics. During the course, we will introduce the basic types of data that can be manipulated with R, the syntax of R and its usage with the command line. For those who are scared by the command line, we will also briefly look at GUI alternatives offered by R-Commander or R-Studio.
