Getting Started in R

An eight-page pdf guide for "Getting Started in R".

Objective

To create a short guide that gives a quick overview and introduction to R.

How?

  • Avoiding technical details where possible.
  • Making it fun and interesting.

For whom?

  • Beginners.
  • Data scientists, statisticians, programmers, ... who want to get a flavour of R.
  • Those who want a quick refresher guide to R.
  • The curious.

Outcome

  • After reading the guide, following the examples and doing exercises you will learn how to manipulate, visualise and summarise data.
  • Hopefully you will have the curiousity to learn more :)
