About this course

Skip About this course

Basics of Statistical Inference and Modelling Using R is part one of the Statistical Analysis in R professional certificate.

This course is directed at people with limited statistical background and no practical experience, who have to do data analysis, as well as those who are “out of practice”. While very practice oriented, it aims to give the students the understanding of why the method works (theory), how to implement it (programming using R) and when to apply it (and where to look if the particular method is not applicable in the specific situation).

At a glance

  • Institution: UCx
  • Subject: Math
  • Level: Intermediate
  • Prerequisites:

    The course requires a good understanding of basic algebra, logarithms and exponential functions, the equation of a straight line, basic concepts of probability, continuous and discrete random variables, distributions, probability (density) functions, cumulative probability density functions, expectation and variance and basic sample statistics.

    If you have never used R before, it is also recommended to go through the chapters 1-7, and 9 of the R-manual found at https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html
