Title An introduction to R
Instructor Dr. Martin Hutzenthaler, Prof. Dirk Metzler
Contents: R is a widely used tool for analysing data in biology. Therefore it is important to learn it. R is a free statistics software and can be downloaded from www.r-project.org. In the beginning of the course, we become familiar with R by typing in some simple commands. Then we learn how to simulate data and how to apply standard statistical tests. Necessary theoretical background will be provided in accompanying lectures. At the end of the course, students are going to be familiar with a selection of statistical features of R.
