This basic introduction to R focuses on the technical aspects of data organisation, handling, analysis and presentation using the wide-spread command line statistics package R. This course is not an introduction to statistics, but lays the foundation to efficiently use statistical applications of R, which are introduced in other courses. The course addresses students who would like to become familiar with a powerful, single and freely available alternative to spreadsheet programmes (Excel), other, less flexible commercial statistical packages (SPSS, Jump, Minitab etc.) and graphics software for presenting data (Excel, Sigmaplot etc.).
