First steps in R: an online book

 ​The online interactive book that was developed for the course is focused on (basic) programming in R and first steps in statistical modelling. It is organized in four chapters:

​

  • Basic programming in R.

  • Simple linear regression in R.

  • One-way ANOVA in R.

  • The tidyverse package (basic concepts).

​

Similar to the slides we follow “a user” approach in order to provide the necessary skills for advanced usage of the software.   

​

All the materials are available in html, .Rmd and PDF formats. Practical sessions and exercises are available below

Online interactive book (chapter 1-3)
 
This part of the online book is focused on statistical modeling (simple linear regression and one-way ANOVA) and  basic programing in R. It contains links to YouTube tutorials and R code for the examples. To run the code you can copy and paste the code to R or to use the R markdown program of the book that is available online as well.
Rmd & PDF files of the book (chapter 1-3)

​

The R markdown and PDF versions of the book contain the same  materials presented in the online book. Note that if you work with the PDF file offline, it is still interactive and if you click on a link, it will lead you to the relevant online course material.

​

The tidyverse package: an introduction (chapter 4)
​
This chapter covers the basic concepts of the R package tidyverse. The materials are presented at a beginner level with simple examples for data manipulation, data management and visualization.
