Opleiding: Course Data analysis and visualization with the statistical language R
Leerdoel
The course Data analysis and visualization with the statistical language R is provided by the Institute for Life Science & Technology, Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen.
Have you ever experienced the tedious repetition of having to do the same calculations, the same data range selections and the same figure format specifications, to create multiple similar figures with different data files in a spread sheet such as Microsoft® Excel? Have you ever pondered on how to do this three-step sorting or conditional selection and calculations? Choose the programming language R and you can work much easier and quicker. The course Data analysis and visualization with the statistical language R learns you how to deal with R.
In Excel many things are possible, but often very hard to figure out. Moreover, when you want to do the same or similar things many times, Excel is not the tool of choice. You can do all these things with the statistical programming language R. Especially when you want to do them many times, time expenditure on each single repetition will drop to almost zero. That is why R is so popular in the bioinformatics community.
Target
Learn how to effectively and efficiently deal with and analyze (biological) data.
Doelgroep
The course is intended for people working with (biological) data. This includes PhD students, master and bachelor students, post-docs, lab technicians and other life science professionals.
Programma
In the course Data analysis and visualization with the statistical language R you will see that there is no magic in programming with R. Using R, you will learn how to:
- import data files (excel files, tab-delimited, csv, etc.)
- do calculations on data
- create data files (excel files, tab-delimited, csv, etc.)
- produce publication-ready figures
- perform basic statistical tests and calculations
Each session will contain both theoretical and practical parts, but with primary focus on practice.
