R is a free and open-source programming language for statistical computing, modelling, and graphics, with an unbeatable collection of statistical packages. It is extremely popular in some academic fields such as statistics, biology, bioinformatics, data mining, data analysis, and linguistics.

This introductory course does not assume any prior knowledge: it is aimed at setting the foundations on which more advanced courses will build later in the year.

Instructor: Marie-Helene Burle (SFU)

Prerequisites: None.

Software: We will provide an RStudio server on a training cluster, so you don’t need to install anything on your computer.
