In this course, you’ll be introduced to a powerful statistical computing software called R. R is a software with built-in functionalities to assist you in statistically analysing and visualising big sets of data with ease. As an open-source software, developers also continuously build packages and libraries that can be loaded into R to simplify complex statistical operations.
This course revisits basic concepts of statistics such as measures of centrality and distributions. You’ll also be introduced to different methods of hypothesis testing, as well as other statistical concepts. By the end of this course, you’ll leave with the skills to use R to analyse and solve statistical problems in various contexts.
