R Programming Training Course Overview

R programming training builds the proficiency in using R programming language for statistical computing and graphics. R, a language and environment, is gaining popularity in getting insight in complex data. The business analyst and other professionals dealing in large amount of data can derive results using the ready-made functions available in R.

R programming training course introduces R environment and basic statistical analysis. It extends the learning curve by teaching techniques used for data manipulation and the overview of basic data structures. Statistical applications using R programming and exploration of data using box plots, histograms, correlation coefficients will also be illustrated.

By the end of R programming classes, you will inculcate the following skillset:

  • Clear understanding of Statistical programming and R environment
