Data Management, Analysis and Graphics with R in Nairobi, Kenya
Details
R is the language of big data—a statistical programming language that helps describe, mine and test relationships between large amounts of data. Learn how to Model statistical relationships using graphs, calculations, tests, and other analysis tools. Learn how to enter and modify data; create charts, scatter plots, and histograms; examine outliers; calculate correlations; and compute regressions, bivariate associations, and statistics for three or more variables.
- Trainees are expected to have a basic understanding of statistics.
- The 5 day training will be enough to get you comfortable with R Statistics.
