About the Course:

Data Analysis skills are mandatory and inevitably essential in a data driven world. The field of Data analysis offers an extensive range of tools, methods and techniques to solve a wide scope of problems ranging from simple to highly sophisticated. To deal with large amounts of data, special software packages and technologies should be deployed. The R language is one of the fastest-growing technologies used by large corporations such as, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Uber, Airbnb and IBM, to analyze data for making critical decisions across all levels of their ecosystems.

This workshop aims to introduce the basics to participants to begin using the R language for data analysis and run sophisticated techniques, such as logistic regression, cluster analysis, time series analysis, PCA, Factor Analysis, etc. This workshop is not meant to comprehensively cover all aspects of the R language, which would require longer training hours. Nevertheless, participants will acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to start their data analysis journey using the R language.

• The Way Forward! What’s next?

 

Prerequisites and Important Notes:

No prior knowledge required! However, having basic data analysis knowledge is a plus. During this course we will start with the basics of R language from scratch.

Participants need to bring their own computers with them during the workshop.

Before the workshop, participants need to install the following programs:

• Latest version of the R-Language from (R-3.4.4)

• RStudio 

• During the workshop, more packages (tidyverse, Mosaic, DescTools, etc.) will be installed from the internet or used offline.

 

Target Attendees

• Professionals working in analytics or related fields

• Anyone interested in statistics and data sciences

• Researchers who perform data analysis including graphs

• Web developers who want to implement data analysis features in their webpage
