First steps with R in Life Sciences
This course material is part of the "First Steps with R in Life Science" two-day course of SIB Training and is addressed to beginners wanting to become familiar with the R syntax, environment, and the most common commands to start using R to explore and interpret their data.
This course material provides an introduction to R and Rstudio (an integrated development environment for R) in an interactive manner. It contains example data-sets to practise data manipulation, graphical exploration and statistical hypothesis testing.
prerequisite installation
To follow this course, make sure you have R and Rstudio installed beforehand.
