The aim of this course is to introduce knowledge of using R, and programming with R.
The focus will be on R basics, important command structures and efficient working with R.
As the most frequent goal of R users is successful applied statistical modeling, application of (descriptive) statistical concepts will be the motivating use case throughout this course (but as the focus is on getting to work with the software R, a (thorough) introduction of statistical concepts will not, or only play a very minor role).
Technical note: materials were generated using bookdown, and contents are presented in html, as well as in pdf format.
For 'hands-on' working with these materials, I recommend to use the html format, as there's a 'Copy to Clipboard' button at the top right corner of each of the code chunks.
