Introduction to Programming Using R
This is a command based course, not related to any specific area of research.
The purpose of this course is to learn how to build a program from scratch: issues to be considered before writing a code and basic steps a programmer should follow to successfully find a solution.
We will first present an overview of R tools focusing on those that will be more useful when programming. We will show some techniques that can be used in several situations.
Entry Requirements: Some familiarity with R is required to attend this course. Alternatively, you should have attended Introduction to R.
