Intermediate R

4 hours of instruction

This course familiarizes learners with key concepts in programming essential for writing code in base R. After loading a dataset into their environment, learners will create variables to represent values that change according to specific conditions. Learners will also construct conditional statements, loops, and functions to practice iterating over these variables with the basic building blocks of a simple program.

OBJECTIVES

1. Discuss control flow structures and practice of writing of modular code
2. Implement for loops and functions
3. Create simple programs in R

PREREQUISITES

Learners should be comfortable performing basic operations on different data types in R.
