This lab focuses on providing hands-on experience with R programming, using R and Visual Studio Code (VSCode) as the primary tools. R is a language and environment for statistical calculations and graphics, widely used for statistical software development and data analysis among statisticians and data miners VSCode is a small but powerful source code editor that supports various programming languages, including R, through its extensions. In this lab, you will learn the essentials of R programming, including data manipulation, statistical modeling, and data visualization. You will also be taught to set up development environments in VSCode, which enables your coding and debugging to be enhanced through a robust ecosystem of extensions and tools
Completion of this lab opens up opportunities for activities such as:
This lab provides you with the skills needed to perform data analysis and statistical calculations using R, combined with the powerful features of VSCode, and prepares you for a successful career in data science and related fields.
