Statistics for Data Analysis Using R

Description

Welcome to "Statistics for Data Analysis Using R," a comprehensive course designed to teach you how to perform both simple and complex statistical calculations using R programming. You don't need to be a programmer to take this course! Starting from the basics, this course will guide you through the fundamental concepts of statistics and data analysis, and show you how to apply these concepts using R.

What You'll Learn:

Descriptive Statistics: Calculate and interpret mean, mode, median, quartiles, range, interquartile range, and standard deviation using base R functions and the psych package.
Data Visualization: Create and interpret histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots using base R commands.
Probability: Understand basic probability concepts, permutations, and combinations.
Population and Sampling: Grasp the fundamental concepts of populations and samples.
Probability Distributions: Explore normal, binomial, and Poisson distributions using base R functions and the visualize package.
Hypothesis Testing: Conduct one-sample and two-sample tests including z-tests, t-tests, F-tests, and Chi-Square tests.
ANOVA: Perform Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) step by step, both manually and using R.

Course Structure: The course is structured to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of statistics, supported by practical R exercises. Each section begins with a theoretical explanation, followed by hands-on coding examples to solidify your understanding.
