R for Data Science
Welcome to the R for Data Science course for 2024!
This course is taking place as part of the University of Warwick’s 2024 Spring Training Week, organised by the SCRPT.
Syllabus overview
This is a beginner’s level course in R, assuming no prior knowledge. We’ll introduce the R programming language and RStudio, a popular IDE (integrated development environment) in which to work. We’ll cover data types and structures in the core of the R language. We’ll also introduce the tidyverse, a well-established set of packages designed for data science, and show how they can be used to import and wrangle data. We’ll also introduce you to R’s powerful graphics capabilities, for producing production quality plots and tables. Finally, we’ll offer a brief introduction to Quarto, an open-source scientific and technical publishing system, which allows the interweaving of code and text to create reproducible documents, presentations and more.
Although no prior knowledge of R is assumed, we do ask that you follow these prerequisites, to ensure that you have all necessary software installed prior to the course.
All slides and further resources can be accessed from the content page and also via the schedule.
