Description
R is a powerful and flexible statistical language and environment for statistical analysis and graphics. It is free, open source, and runs under most operating systems. R becomes an increasing important and widely used tool for applied statistical modeling. There are thousands of contributed packages available in R to perform a great variety of statistical and graphical procedures. New statistical methods are often available first in R. This short course will introduce KAUST students to the basics of using R for statistical programming, computation, graphics, and modeling. Some important statistical concepts, such as exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, cross-validation, permutation test, and bootstrap, will also be discussed while working with R. There are no specific prerequisites but some knowledge of statistics would be helpful. A basic knowledge of matrix algebra, computers, and the internet will be assumed.
