Extra Fundamentals of R

Understanding R graphics, how to set up "real-world" simulations, and how to process non-numeric character and text in R

What you'll learn

Understand and use the base, lattice and ggplot graphics systems in R.
Be able to simulate many 'real-world' and practical "what-if" scenarios to determine likely outcomes.
Have a though understanding of, and ability to effectively use, the text and string variable processing capabilities in R.
Know how to use and implement R's text-based "regular expression" features and functions.

Requirements

Students will need to install the no-cost R console and the no-cost RStudio application (instructions and provided).

Description

Extra Fundamentals of R is an extension of the Udemy course Essential Fundamentals of R. Extra Fundamentals of R introduces additional topics of interest and relevance utilizing many specific R-scripted examples. These broad topics include:

(1) Details on using Base, GGPlot and Lattice graphics;

(2) An introduction to programming and simulation in R; and

(3) Character and string processing in R.

All materials, scripts, slides, documentation and anything used or viewed in any one of the video lessons is provided with the course. The course is useful for both R-novices, as well as to intermediate R users. Rather than focus on specific and narrow R-supported skill sets, the course paints a broad canvas illustrating many specific examples in three domains that any R user would find useful. The course is a natural extension of the more basic Udemy course, Essential Fundamentals of R and is highly recommended for those students, as well as for other new students
