Course Description
This course provides an introduction to modern data analytics, with a focus on practical skills for social science research. The main goal of this course is to introduce R, a programming language designed specifically for statistics and data analysis. The course covers basic programming concepts such as functions and data structures, as well as tools for data analysis and visualization. It also covers methods for uncovering relationships in data, starting simple with cross-tabulations and correlations, before moving into more advanced topics like regression and linear models that are seen in most published pieces of scientific research.
