Registration is open for a new online course entitled *Fundamentals of Using
R*. This course has never been offered online. The course is being offered
through the Information Institute (http://www.information-institute.org), a
charitable, non-profit, educational and scientific organization.
R (http://www.R-project.org) is a powerful, open source, data and
statistical analysis programming environment. The early registration cost
(through April 23) for the 14-hour, 5 week course is $195 (student); $250
(faculty); and $295 (practitioner).
This is the first course on R that anyone should complete. This course is
designed for people who are curious about R, new to R, and who would like to
obtain a basic knowledge of R capabilities that apply to any ultimate
intended use of R. This course instructs about the R environment: using
workspaces; importing and exporting data; R data types, data structures, and
objects; writing simple and complex scripts; essential R functions and
packages; writing your own R functions and packages; programming with R;
publication-style 2-D and 3-D graphics capabilities using special R
packages, and many other essential topics. The course is designed to serve
as a useful knowledge foundation regardless of one’s ultimate use of R (for
example, statistical and data analyses, programming, writing scripts or
creating packages, using graphics, etc.). There is more information at the
URLs below.
