Abstract:
The freely available statistical language R gained a lot of popularity in
the scientific community over the last years.
R provides a wide range of functionalities from graphical visualization
over basic and advanced statistical techniques to being the framework of a
high level statistical programming language.
This two day course gives a basic introduction into the freely available
and frequently used statistical language R. Basic statistical concepts are
briefly reviewed with the focus on the application of these concepts.
The course is conducted with a strong practical 'hands-on' component where
the students carry out the discussed exercises during the course.
The main goal of this course is to enable the students to immediately
employ the acquired knowledge for their research.
