Inhoud

R is a programming language and software environment for data analysis, statistical computing and visualization. In this course you will learn to use R in these three areas, in particular data analysis and visualization.

Assessment This course will be assessed using a 2-hour practical computer test.

You are supposed to give all solutions/answers in an R Markdown file and submit both the markdown file and a PDF document generated from this Markdown file. These aspects will be taken into account when grading your work (on a per-question basis):

  • Correctness and quality (efficiency/effectiveness) of the solution
  • The completeness of figures (axes, legends, titles)
