Overview

Uplatz offers this comprehensive training on R Programming. The course will be conducted as instructor-led online classes.

R is a programming language and software environment for statistical analysis, graphics representation and reporting. R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and is currently developed by the R Development Core Team.

R is freely available under the GNU General Public License, and pre-compiled binary versions are provided for various operating systems like Linux, Windows and Mac.

R is a powerful language for data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, statistics. Originally developed for statistical programming, it is now one of the most popular languages in data science.

In this R Programming online training, you will learn how to apply the R programming language to carry out essential data management, wrangling and processing activities. This course will cover all of the fundamentals of data processing and analysis in the R environment. Prepare, transform, and manage datasets and their variables, export/import data from various file formats (Excel spreadsheets, csv, tab, txt, etc.), create simple graphical representations of the data (bar plots, histograms, box plots, etc), obtain summaries, data aggregations, cross-tabulations, frequency and pivot tables, and run and explain results.


This R training will also expose you to data visualization tools available in R for data reporting and research communication, as well as modelling utilizing multiple linear regression approaches. The course will address current methods to practical data science utilizing R and its rich ecosystem of external libraries, including the tidyverse family of packages, such as dplyr, ggplot2, tidyr, readr, and tibble, as well as other vital R libraries for data wrangling and statistics.

In this R Programming course, you'll be starting with th basics of R, and you'll end with the confidence to start writing your own R scripts. But this isn't your typical textbook introduction to R. You're not just learning about R fundamentals, you'll be using R to solve problems related to movies data. Using a concrete example makes the learning painless.

You will learn about the fundamentals of R syntax, including assigning variables and doing simple operations with one of R's most important data structures -- vectors! From vectors, you'll then learn about lists, matrix, arrays and data frames. Then you'll jump into conditional statements, functions, classes and debugging. Once you've covered the basics - you'll learn about reading and writing data in R, whether it's a table format (CSV, Excel) or a text file (.txt). Finally, you'll end with some important functions for character strings and dates in R.

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.
