Information

Description

This introductory class aims at teaching you how to learn to use a free statistical software: R. It is particularly oriented towards students who never used R, never did statistical analysis, and/or are reluctant to do so. I will make sure that if your research can benefit from statistical analyses, you will be able to handle them.
