It is designed for undergraduate students with no prior background in R. Topics will cover generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in high-level languages such as R. Course content focuses on understanding and implementation of R programs to meet routine and specialized data manipulation for performing analysis of several real-world data set. Few basic and intermediate level statistical concepts will be revisited as well.
