In this hands-on introduction we will cover the basic building blocks of the R programming
language.
We will start with some historical info on the R language. We then discuss the concept
of atomic data types and
homogeneous vectors. Through the concept of attributes we will introduce matrices,
arrays, factors and datetimes.
Subsequently, control structures and the concept of functions will be covered.
Afterwards, the topic of heterogeneous vectors (lists and dataframes) and IO will
be addressed.
If time permits we will discuss the concept of environments, libraries and a few statistical
distributions.
At the present time, ggplot2, debugging, profiling will not be covered. They certainly
will be covered in the near future.
After each section time will be spent on exercises.
In order to do the exercises you need to have access to an R language interpretor
and the RStudio IDE.
