You can better retain R when you learn it to solve a specific problem, so you&#8217;ll use a real-world dataset about crime in the United States. You will learn the R skills needed to answer essential questions about differences in crime across the different states.  We&#8217;ll cover R&#8217;s functions and data types, then tackle how to operate on vectors and when to use advanced functions like sorting. You&#8217;ll learn how to apply general programming features like &#8220;if-else,&#8221; and &#8220;for loop&#8221; commands, and how to wrangle, analyze and visualize data.  Rather than covering every R skill you might need, you&#8217;ll build a strong foundation to prepare you for the more in-depth courses later in the series, where we cover concepts like probability, inference, regression, and machine learning. We help you develop a skill set that includes R programming, data wrangling with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with UNIX\/Linux, version control with git and GitHub, and reproducible document preparation with RStudio.  The demand for skilled data science practitioners is rapidly growing, and this series prepares you to tackle real-world data analysis challenges.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Price: FREE to audit!<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/data-science-r-basics-2\">View Class<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Data Science: R Basics through edX, a platform for education founded by Harvard and MIT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"background-color:#496d89\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/data-science-r-basics-2\">Data Science: R Basics<strong> &#8211; <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description The first in our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, this course will introduce you to the basics of R programming.
