Introduction to R programming
This course will introduce programming with the R language. The emphasis is strongly on programming, and statistical topics will only be glanced. The basics of R language are covered on the first day, and the second day will shortly introduce visualizations, statistical tools and data technologies using R. The course will progress quite rapidly, so previous exposure to programming with some other language probably makes following the course easier.
The course consists of lectures (50%) and hands-on exercises (50%) with R.
