R Programming Fundamentals Course Syllabus Course Description Risa free programming language and software environment used for statistical computing and graphics. R is widely used by data analysts, statisticians, and data scientists around the world. This beginner-friendly course is a comprehensive introduction to R, covering everything from installation to basic statistical functions. You will learn to work with variable and external data sets, write functions, and hear from one of the co-creators of the R language, Robert Gentleman. Instructors Susan Holmes, PhD Professor of Statistics, Stanford University Guest Presenters Robert Gentleman VP of Computational Biology, 23andMe; Co-creator of R Course Topics > Module —Course Introduction This module provides an overview of the course, and an introduction to the history and evolution of R. Approximate video length: 14 minutes > Module 2- Getting Started In this module, you will learn how to set-up R on your device, and familiarize yourself with the basic features of R studio that you will be using later on in the course.
