More about this course
  • This course will introduce learner to the basics of R programming
  • Learner can better retain R when learner learn it to solve a specific problem
  • Learner will use a real-world dataset about crime in the United States
  • Learner will learn the R skills needed to answer essential questions about differences in crime across the different states
  • Learner will cover R's functions and data types, then tackle how to operate on vectors and when to use advanced functions like sorting
  • Learner will learn how to apply general programming features like: if-else and for loop commands, and how to wrangle, analyze and visualize data
  • Rather than covering every R skill you might need, learner will build a strong foundation to prepare you for the more in-depth courses later in the series, where we cover concepts like probability, inference, regression, and machine learning
  • Learner will develop a skill set that includes R programming, data wrangling with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with UNIX/Linux, version control with git and GitHub, and reproducible document preparation with RStudio
