7-10 June 2021

In collaboration with the Doctoral Programs in Organismal Biology, CUSO StarOmics, CUSO Molecular Plant Sciences & CUSO Microbiology

The open source software R (http://www.r-project.org) has revolutionized the statistical data analysis for most bioscience disciplines. The required time to learn the R software is well invested, since the R environment covers an unmatched spectrum of statistical tools including an efficient programming language for automating time-consuming analysis routines. Due to its popularity, R is continuously updated and extended with the latest analysis tools that are available in the different research fields. The R environment is completely free and runs on all common operating systems.

This course provides an elementary-level introduction into the R environment covering the following topics:

• Command syntax, basic functions,
• Data import/export and data types,
• Using R for data mining and statistical analysis,
• Introduction to programming in S,
• Graphical display,
• Usage of R packages and libraries.

The attendees will practice their newly learned skills using exercises on the computer. Participants could also bring their own data sets for a first exploratory round.
