II. DESCRIPCIÓN DEL MÓDULO
The contents in this Module are designed to be an applied introduction with some statistical concepts. The work will be done using R
language, so you will need to install the programming language and the code editor, that are in free.
It is not necessary to have previous knowledge, but if you have experience in computer programming and statistics, this may feel more
familiar. However, all the contents were structured to learn from scratch. There are a great deal of topics and resources to learn R, so you
will often find references to manuals and online resources.
This Module will provide you with basic tools so that you can later delve into disciplinary applications. It will be extremely useful for
you.
