R- a tool for statistical analysis 5 credits

About the course

The course will focus on the use of R for the analysis and vizualisation of data. In addition to familiarization with standard R functions as well as functions for graphics and statistical analysis the students will learn how to program by creating their own functions. The use of script to facilitate reproducible results is central. Students will use large language models (AI) and other AI tools to increase efficiency in their workflow but also critically over these tools and their use.
