Data Analysis with R – Introduction to R Programming

Revealing the logic and strengths of R for working with data. Are you interested in data science but intimidated by R? Maybe you want to start working with quantitative data but have no idea where to begin. If that sounds familiar, this is the course for you!

Revealing the logic and strengths of R for working with data

Expert Rick Scavetta offers an introduction to programming and data science concepts, aimed at absolute beginners with no prior programming knowledge. You’ll discover the power of R as you explore the language’s three core strengths: data manipulation, statistics, and data visualization.

Join in to learn how to use R to make your data analysis steps efficient, transparent, and reproducible – the hallmarks of all good scientific practice.

All online workshops will be available soon for academic research institutes, businesses and individuals.

Kunstformen:
Inspiration for our artwork

The drawings used throughout our website come from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur, published between 1899 and 1904.

As an accomplished German naturalist and artist, Haeckel was already familiar to Rick Scavetta from his studies in Evolutionary Biology. When developing the company’s visual identity, Rick was drawn to these images for a number of reasons.

Kunstformen der Natur is one of the most influential works bridging the gap between science and art. This is reflected in the marriage of the hard and soft skills in every workshop, such as the presentation of difficult technical material in the Presentation Skills workshop.
