Course description

The open source software package R is free of charge and offers standard data analysis procedures as well as a comprehensive repertoire of highly specialized processes and procedures, even for complex applications. In addition to providing an introduction to the basic concepts and functionalities of R, we will go through a prototypical data analysis workflow in the course: import, wrangling, exploration, (basic) analysis, reporting.

Prerequisites

  • prior experience with quantitative data analysis, basic statistics, and regression
  • experience with using other statistical packages (e.g., SPSS or Stata) is helpful, but not a requirement
