Through this course, I acquired basic knowledge of applied statistics for data processing and analysis using the statistical software R.

Competences:

Systematic understanding of a field of study and mastery of research skills and methods related to that field.

Ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial research or creation process.

Ability to carry out a critical analysis and evaluation and synthesis of new and complex ideas.

Ability to work both in a team and autonomously in an international or multidisciplinary context.

Reflection on the learning undertaken:

Through the “Introduction to R” course, I have understood the functionality of R and RStudio software. I have learned how to efficiently import and export data, including creation and editing processes. Additionally, I have applied basic knowledge of descriptive statistics to analyse data effectively.

I have also developed the skills to perform and interpret hypothesis tests, which are crucial for validating research findings. Furthermore, I have acquired the ability to build and evaluate regression models, enhancing my capability to analyse complex data sets and draw meaningful conclusions.
