Objectives

Learn more about the tools used to represent and manipulate complex data, discover the dplyr and data.table packages to optimise data processing, import data sources (CSV, JSON, XML, SQL), create a simple or multiple linear regression model using the {stats} package, improve your knowledge of graphs and know how to use ggplot2 or plotly.

Prerequisites:

  • Attended the R: basics training course, or equivalent

Pedagogical and technical material and resources:

  • Sessions with the trainer, training material in digital format, balance between theoretical and practice, concrete cases.

Assessment:

  • Practical application and exercises

Results & skills expected at the end of the training:

At the end of this course, participants should be able to import or merge structured or unstructured data sources, apply advanced processing to quantitative and qualitative data on quantitative and qualitative data, and construct elaborate static or dynamic dynamic graphs.
