Introduction to Programming with R

This course is an introduction to using R, a popular programming language for statistical computing and graphics in data science and other domains. Learn to use RStudio, a popular integrated development environment (IDE). Students learn to represent real-world data with vectors, matrices, arrays, lists, and data frames, and filter data with conditions via which they can analyze subsets of data. We apply functions and loops, which allow us to manipulate and summarize data sets. Students learn to write functions to modularize code and raise exceptions when something goes wrong. The course covers how to tidy data with R's tidyverse and create colorful visualizations with R's grammar of graphics. By the end of the course, students learn to package, test, and share R code for others to use. Assignments are inspired by real-world data sets.
