R is one of the most used programming languages in Data Science to perform data analysis, to visualise the data, to apply statistics and for machine learning analyses. This course is an designed for participants with no programming experience, and at the end of the course the participant will be able to write ad-hoc codes to manipulate and visualize data in order to answer specific biological questions and to run specific packages for Big Data analyses.

For this training TEAMS/Rstudiocloud will be used. The course is run over three days, 4- 6th October with each day starting at 9:30am and ending at 4:30pm

In this 3 day introductory course you will learn:

• Define the basic terms as they relate to R (i.e. object, assign, call, function, arguments, options)

• Create, rename, subset and manipulate R objects

• Use comments to annotate the script.

• Call functions and use arguments to change their default options

• Dealing with missing data

• Manipulate and analyse data (i.e. data from csv, xls, txt files) with classical approach and by using tidyverse package

• Visualise data using ggplot2
