R Programming Classes Lausanne

This 35-hour program offers a comprehensive introduction to R. This course teaches the skills needed to process, manipulate, and analyze data, create visualizations, and generate reports. The program begins with an overview of programming with R. It then moves on to the treatment of basic data elements, the use of “dplyr” to manipulate data, and how to create basic and advanced visualizations such as violin and mosaic plots, and time-series diagrams.

Students in this class learn to program in R and to employ the language for effective data analysis. To this end, they learn to work with vectorized operations, matrices, data frames, Qplot, and GGPlot2 to produce advanced visualizations.

Students here learn to create the most frequently-requested charts in 2D or 3D using R’s statistical computing capabilities. Note that no mathematical concepts are explained during the course; a companion theory class is available, however.

This class teaches students to use R’s fundamental data mining tools, be they supervised or automated through machine learning. At course’s completion, students will be able to employ big data to predict market trends and to establish sales targets.

This course introduces beginners to working with data. Students develop skills in data cleaning and manipulation, working with strings, and using R.
