23496-01 - Seminar with practical course: Einführung in die statistische Software R (4 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2026 |
| Course frequency | Every semester |
| Lecturers | Florian Seitz (florian.seitz@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | This seminar will teach you how to work with R, the free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. Over the last decades, R has gained much popularity in many fields of science and engineering. R thanks this popularity to many features: R is versatile and powerful (in particular when compared to, e.g., SPSS). R allows for easy custom data handling and for creating impressive (custom) graphics. Also, R is free and open source and the coding is platform-independent. The seminar consists mostly of practical programming exercises with existing data sets. In these exercises, you learn to manipulate the data, apply various statistical analyses and to graphically represent the results. After this seminar, you will be able to analyze your own (master's project) data with R. Basic statistical and computer skills are required for this seminar. |
