Workshop: Non statistics with R
Background: Many users think of R as a statistics system. Furthermore, it is an environment within which statistical techniques are implemented. R can be extended (easily) via packages, covering a very wide range of modern statistics and much more.
Methodology: We will start with some foundations and advance through the different capabilities that can be implemented or created. R programming and tasks automation. Statistical reports. Analysis of vector and raster cartography.
The focus of this workshop will be on giving the participants practical experience with the software. Course material will be provided during a practical sessions.This course does not intend to be a full introduction to statistics. The objective is to demonstrate the power of open source statistical software, providing hands-on experience and enabling participants to understand and use the software on their own problems.
To discover new and interesting capabilities that R can provided us, such as GIS, modelling, text processor, automation and easy programming.
