Introduction to R - NFDI4Microbiota and DZIF Training

The workshop offers an introduction to the software "R". Increasingly, physicians and biologists are facing large amounts of data that can no longer be analysed "by hand”. The R environment offers free software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It thus allows handling of large data amounts, simplifies the interpretation of the data, or enables a deeper analysis.

Learning goals:
The aim of this seminar is to give participants with little or no experience of working with R the opportunity to close their knowledge gaps and determine whether R can be used in their own research. Topics range from the basics for getting started to advanced examples of using R in practical research.  

Prerequisites: This course is suitable for people who are not familiar with R.
