Aim and content
This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH.
Please read under "Participants". All applicants will be put on the waiting list until enrollment deadline.
The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee
Learning objectives
The course aims to give an introduction to the statistical software R by the user interface Rstudio. The course is designed for health science researcher who wants to become more familiar with R for simple calculations, data management, data exploration and analysis. In particular, the course provides basic functionalities matching the needs for the courses “Basic Statistics for Health Science Researchers” and “Statistics for Experimental Researchers”.
A student who has met the objectives of the course should be able to:
• Import/load data into R
• Use the interface Rstudio
• Implement basic calculation in R
• Manipulate data in R
• Create descriptive analyses in R
• Plot graphics in R
Content
We will explain basic concepts on the statistical software R (install R and Rstudio interface, upload packages, load/write data). Use of functions in R with the help page and simple mathematical calculations. Basic tools for data manipulation (data structures in R, data frame creation, define/select variables), descriptive statistics in R and creation of graphics in basic R (scatterplot, box-plot and histogram). Half of the course will include exercises.
Prerequisites
The course is for people that have no or little prior knowledge of R.
Participants
Ph.D.-students. In case of vacant seats, also other health researchers. The maximum number of participants is 50.
Enrolment priority for the course is reserved to students registered to either the course of “Basic Statistics for Health Science Researchers” or “Statistics for Experimental Research” with the nearest starting date. Registration deadlines of the Introduction to R course are synchronized with these two courses. Seats will be first assigned to students enrolled in at least one of these courses (with a maximum capacity of 50 participants). Therefore all applicants will be put on the waiting list until enrolment deadline. Any remaining available seats will be allocated to other PhD students on a first-come, first-served basis.
