INTRODUCTION
This course
is designed for participants who plan to use R for the management, coding, analysis
and visualization of qualitative data. The course’s content is spread over
seven modules and includes: Basics of Applied Statistical Modelling, Essentials
of the R Programming, Statistical Tools, Probability Distributions, Statistical
Inference, Relationship between Two Different Quantitative Variables and
Multivariate Analysis . The
course is entirely hands-on and uses sample data to learn R basics and advanced
features.
