Course Description

This course provides an overview of Data Science and how R language with its methods and functions constitutes a primary tool to become a Data Scientist. The course presents an introduction to Data Science and Big Data. Then, it gives an overview of R and RStudio software and how to set them up. Lastly, it explains in detail, with the aid of numerous exercises, how to use various R methods and functions to analyze data.

The course demonstrates the importance and advantages of R language as a start, then it presents topics on R data types, variable assignment, arithmetic operations, vectors, matrices, factors, data frames and lists. Besides, it includes topics on operators, conditionals, loops, functions, and packages. It also covers regular expressions, getting and cleaning data, plotting, and data manipulation using the dplyr package.

The ever-increasing size of data globally coupled with the prominent need to extract insightful information out of it necessitate learning analytical programming languages such as R. This course paves the road for beginners to start using R in real life analysis tasks and research projects to enable a fact-based decision-making process.
