Course programme
Working with data
The session starts with a brief look at importing data items and builds on the beginner’s course by showing some advanced methods for data import and validation, including how to read Excel files
- Making data items
- Factor variables
In this session you will learn how to explore and alter object properties. You’ll also learn how to make data objects and to merge datasets.
- Joining – cbind, rbind merge
In this session you’ll learn more advanced methods for summarizing data tables.
- Data summaries
- apply()
- tapply()
- sapply()
- aggregate()
- prop.table()
- addmargins()
Advanced graphical methods
In this section you will learn more advanced methods of graphical summary. Topics include: error bars, using colour palettes and making legends. You’ll also learn how to alter graphical parameters to produce more customised plots, as well as methods for adding items to plots (such as labels, additional text and more data series).
- Error bars
- Legends
- Colour
- Labels
- Adding to plots
- Graphical pars
This section of the course covers both the basics of R programming and a few more advanced areas to give you a complete overview of the methods you’ll need to produce custom solutions. Topics include: loops, conditional statements, invisible results, user intervention, error trapping, and argument matching.
You will learn how to use custom classes for producing your own print, summary and plot routines. You will also learn how to save and load custom functions and scripts.
