Course Description
R Programming for Statistics and Data Science 2023
R Programming is a skill you need if you want to work as a data analyst or a data scientist in your industry of choice. And why wouldn't you? Data scientist is the hottest ranked profession in the US.
But to do that, you need the tools and the skill set to handle data. R is one of the top languages to get you where you want to be. Combine that with statistical know-how, and you will be well on your way to your dream title.
This course is packing all of this, and more, in one easy-to-handle bundle, and it’s the perfect start to your journey.
So, welcome to R for Statistics and Data Science!
R for Statistics and Data Science is the course that will take you from a complete beginner in programming with R to a professional who can complete data manipulation on demand. It gives you the complete skill set to tackle a new data science project with confidence and be able to critically assess your work and others’.
Laying strong foundations
This course wastes no time and jumps right into hands-on coding in R. But don’t worry if you have never coded before, we start off light and teach you all the basics as we go along! We wanted this to be an equally satisfying experience for both complete beginners and those of you who would just like a refresher on R.
What makes this course different from other courses?

Receive top class training with content which we’ve built - and rigorously edited - to deliver powerful and efficient results.
Even though preferred learning paces differ from student to student, we believe that being challenged just the right amount underpins the learning that sticks.
Introductory guide to statistics.
We will take you through descriptive statistics and the fundamentals of inferential statistics.
We will do it in a step-by-step manner, incrementally building up your theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
You’ll master confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, as well as regression and cluster analysis.
The essentials of programming – R-based.
Put yourself in the shoes of a programmer, rise above the average data scientist and boost the productivity of your operations.
Data manipulation and analysis techniques in detail.
Learn to work with vectors, matrices, data frames, and lists.
Become adept in ‘the Tidyverse package’ - R’s most comprehensive collection of tools for data manipulation – enabling you to index and subset data, as well as spread(), gather(), order(), subset(), filter(), arrange(), and mutate() it.

Great and cool style of teaching things! Edit: the HT part of the course can be too overwhelming for the guys that have not a background in statistics already, specifically in probability testing. Though this is not a statistics course, it should have been expanded to become so if ever to deep dive in R from that perspective then.
By Ferri Tafreshi on 7/31/2024
I enjoyed it but I wish there were more exercises. Also, some of the codes that were shared in the exercises were new, which should have been explained better. Afterall, this course was about learning R and I am sure there are more to it.
By Shereen Grace De Leon on 3/2/2023
Overall I would say that the course is great. It's easy to follow along the programming demos and hands-on exercises. But maybe the statistics (theoretical concepts) parts should be explained in a simpler manner (for the not mathematically-inclined or new to the field). I also loved the instructor's quirky personality and nerdy/geeky examples that made the lessons more fun!
By Muchammad Ali Fahmi on 11/7/2020
The explanation was crystal clear, and step by step information given just great
By Scott Novak on 11/7/2020
I like her corny jokes----keeps it interesting.
By Malayaj Srivastava on 11/7/2020
I am a beginner in R, and this course gave a crisp understanding and a sound introduction to R
By Somnath Bera on 11/7/2020
It will be better to show the example screens with zoom in rather than highlighters. It gets difficult to follow.
By Dean Layman on 10/26/2020
I have loved the first half of the course. It is a great intro to R. I used the S programing language back in the 1980s when I worked for the Bell System. I understand that R is like a follow-on language. I am glad to be learning this again.
By Hossameldin MKML Abdelrahman on 10/18/2020
All the session are so informative and give different ways to perform the same task. However, more time is needed to fellow or at least provide each lesson R script. I enjoyed it !
By Dhanaji Parshuram Ghorpade on 10/17/2020
Easy to understand language but found too much stress on Basics. Should focus more on Statistics and Data Science as topic suggested
By Christian Dimitri Lecorps on 10/6/2020
it is a very good match! Only hope I could have the answers of the erxercises to see if I have the right results or not
By Ilir Sheraj on 10/3/2020
I would say that this is the best R course i've seen so far. I took courses on R from EDX and Coursera which are very deep and detailed and give you a headache, but here Simona has done a great job in putting a lot of emphasis into the practical side. I am enjoying it a lot and the way she explains keeps me glued after a long day of work. I have experience in R so for the beginners, doing the exercises would help a lot, think a bit before looking at the answers and don't skip them. Great work!
