Overview

Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Statistical Computing with R programming is designed to provide in-depth knowledge, practical skills and key understanding to learners about calculus, in-depth and statistical computing in the R environment. Statistical Computing is an expanding area in the statistical research, methods, tools and applications. It includes computationally intensive methods in statistics, such as Monte Carlo methods, bootstrap, MCMC, density estimation, nonparametric regression, classi?cation and clustering, and visualization of multivariate data. R is a statistical computing environment based S language. The software is free under the terms of the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License. You can download the course as per the course lesson instructions from our learning platform. This course is self-paced, therefore, you can spend the maximum time to download study materials & work on the real-life examples to analyse, assess and interpret data with real-life practical experience to use a range of computation technique using R programming.

At the end of this qualification, you will be able to

  • Understand statistical tools, techniques and applications
  • Apply statistical methods to new problems
  • Analyse and assess data and interpret results
  • Apply statistical computing techniques using statistical software R to the data and get results

Intake: Start Anytime

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
