Beskrivning
The course covers fundamental concepts of programming and software design focusing on programming in R.
Inlärningsmål
The course will teach life scientists with little or moderate experience in programming but enthusiastic about learning how to use R to make their work smoother and easier.
Innehåll
We will go through various aspects of R scripting with some more attention paid to the parts useful for life scientists. After introductory lectures on good programming practices, basic software design theory and a brief overview of R, we will delve into programming. We start by learning how to use R as a simple calculator, what are variable types, how to use data structures, how to implement repeating actions with and without loops, how to take actions based on certain condition. We gradually proceed to loading data, importing data from common file formats, we do some basic matrix algebra; learn how to perform basic statistical tests and how to visualize results.
