Description
This is a hands-on workshop which includes exercises in which participants analyze data in R on the computer. 

• Introduction to the R interface
• Importing data from Excel and data management
• Descriptive statistics: mean, median, quantile, standard deviations, correlations (Pearson, Spearman), scatter plots (and graph options), boxplots, histograms, bar charts
• R scripts, R packages, R help and literature
• Means and comparisons: Confidence intervals, the most common tests for comparisons (t-test, Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, …)
• Checking preconditions: Tests for normal distribution, QQ plots, equality of variances (Levene)
• Principal component analysis
• Linear regression and analysis of variance: Introduction to linear regression with R, ANOVA, MANOVA, post hoc test, generalised linear regression (logistic, probit)
• Repeated Measurements (Longitudinal Studies) in order to ensure the smoothest possible introduction to R

Qualification Goal
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to independently apply the statistical methods covered in R.

*Creditability within the kick-off seminar

For reasons of respect and fairness towards all participants and the workshop leaders, participants who miss more than 10% of the workshop are considered not to be present.
