- 1
R and statistics
Basics of R, the amazing statistical programming language. Do not be afraid of the art of programming! - 2
Data types and variable types
Quick overview to R data and variable types. What are the objects? You are the subject. - 3
Looking at the data
Data are everywhere and everything. That's why Statistics is also called Data Science. R offers great tools for looking at the data, behind the numbers. - 4
Exploring variation and dependence
Variation and dependence are at the heart of Statistics. In fact, without variation the discipline would cease to exist. Correlation is not causation, but why? - 5
Working across the data
Cross-tabulations let you explore dependencies hidden deep within discrete variables. - 6
Subsets and conditions
Let's begin to seek the best conditions for coping with uncertainty. - 7
Probability distributions
Most things in this world are more or less random, and not evenly distributed. - 8
Estimation
Get your brackets ready for diving in the world of statistical inference! - 9
Hypothesis testing
We all might be statistically different, but maybe we are part of the 68%. - 10
Regression
Now, pick roles for the variables and start modeling. I predict you are good!
