ENVIRONMENTAL DATA ANALYSIS IN R

Catalog description

(Slashed with GEOG 49073 and GEOG 49073 ) The course aims to teach students basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data in R. R is an open-source (free!) programming language for statistical computing and graphics that statisticians widely use, scientists, data miners, and geographers. The number of R users grows exponentially each year, contributing to a massive online community and countless free tutorials. This is a hands-on course designed for students with no programming experience. However, this course does not teach statistics: understanding of basic statistics and common statistical tests is assumed and prior coursework in statistics is encouraged. With the knowledge gained in this course, students will be ready to undertake their own data analysis in R and increase their efficiency through reproducible workflows.
