R is a widely used programming language for statistical computing. It features robust libraries that cover everything from basic data analytics to visualization functions for presentation. R is used by professional data scientists, researchers, and marketers.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to modern statistical analysis using R, particularly for researchers in life and environmental sciences. You’ll review R and cover its functionality with its various packages. You'll review essential statistical functions including data description, linear modeling, regression analysis, and more. You’ll also cover advanced analytical techniques looking at analysis of variance, factorial designs, and non-normal data distributions. You’ll also discuss generalized linear models, including binomial GLMs and GLMs for binary data. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be prepared to apply statistical methods to real-world problems and interpret and analyze various models in an effective contemporary manner.

Performing Modern Statistical Analysis with R

All statistical analysis starts with a basic description and the experimental design. The aim is to use one or more explanatory variables to understand differences in a response variable. Categorical explanatory variables are known as factors. We can describe the signal with a measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) and the noise with a measure of variability (usually the standard deviation).
