- Short Introduction into the User Interface.
- Import Data from Excel and Handle Data in R
- Descriptive Statistics: Mean, Median, Quantiles, Standard Deviation, Correlations (Pearson, Spearman), Scatterplots (and Graphical Parameters), Boxplots, Histograms, Bar Plots
- R Scripts, R Packages, R Help and Books
- Comparing Means (and Medians): Confidence Intervals, Popular Tests for
- Comparisons, (t-Test, Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, . . . )
- Check of Assumptions: Testing Normality, qq-Plots, Homoscedasticity: Variance Homogeneity (Levene)
- Principal Components Analysis
- Linear Regression and Analysis of Variance: Introduction into Linear Regression with R, ANOVA, MANOVA, Post-Hoc-Tests, Generalized Linear Regression (logistic, probit)
- Repeated Measurements (Longitudinal Studies)
This is a hands-on workshop which includes exercises in which participants analyze data in R on the computer.
Qualification Goals
Being able to analyze data in R
Participation Requirements
- This is a basic course on R and it does not assume any preknowledge on R.
- The course assumes at least a basic knowledge on statistics: mean, standard deviation, median, quantile, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, p value, significance, linear regression.
- An optimal prerequisite would be knowledge of (nearly) all of the statistical methods covered in the workshop. Though all of these methods are quickly recapitulated in the workshop, learning R is easier if the statistical methods are already known.
