R for Absolute Beginners In-Person

R is a programming language that was originally developed for statistical analysis, but today it is used for a wide range of purposes. It can be used for analysing both numerical data and text.

This course is a basic introduction to R. No prior programming experience is required to participate.

A prerequisite for carrying out analyses in R is having a basic understanding of both the programming language and the interface. This is precisely what you will learn in our introductory course.

It is assumed that you have installed R and Positron/RStudio before the course so that we do not need to spend time on this. You can find help with installing R and Positron/RStudio here.

About the summer school

This course is part of the R Summer School. It is an educational programme aimed at students at Roskilde University and the University of Copenhagen. As a participant in the summer school, you will have the opportunity to work intensively with R and thereby acquire strong data skills. It is up to you whether you enrol in one or more courses.
