Online Certificate Courses

R is a programming language software environment for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. It is an approach of data analysis employed for summarizing and visualizing data set, and the focus of the approach is to analyze data’s basic structures and variables to develop a basic understanding of the data set. in this data science certification course, students will learn data exploration, data visualization, predictive analytics and descriptive analytics techniques with the R language.

Curriculum

Module 1: Introduction to R Environment

History and development of R Statistical computing programming language, installing R and R studio, getting started with R, creating new working directory, changing existing working directory, understanding the different data types, installing the available packages, calling the installed packages, arithmetic operations, variable definition in R, simple functions, vector definition and logical expressions, matrix calculation and manipulation using matrix data types, workspace management.

Module 2: Data Structures and Control Statements
