Learning outcomes
The course "Data Analysis Laboratory with R" is an optional "type f" activity, which allows to students to obtain 3 CFU, once a final examination is passed. In particular:
- The course is open to all CdL and CdLM students of the Vicenza campus of the School of Economics and Management.
- Due to the COVID-19 emergency, this year lessons will be delivered online through Zoom meetings. Each course has, approximately, 50 places.
- There will be two courses, one in the first semester and another one in the second semester.

Program
R is an open-source software for statistical computing. Created at the end of the 1990s from the S software, R is a multi-paradigm language that over the course of two decades has acquired a central role among statistical software, thanks also to the development of more than 16000 packages implementing techniques and methods coming from the most diverse fields of methodological and applied statistics. In recent years, thanks to the development of an entire family of packages aimed at simplifying and organizing on a new basis the programming methods and the interaction with R, the software has found new opportunities to express its potential to the fullest. The R language, together with Python, is now considered the reference language in modern data science and, in particular, for machine learning. It easily interfaces with many other software such as Excel, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI etc.
The course aims to provide the basics of the programming and operating philosophy of the R software, introducing the participants to some of the most recent innovations. After the introduction of the R language and of R Studio (the most used IDE for R), the course will focus on the following topics: data processing and manipulation techniques, advanced graphical tools for statistical analysis, graphic representation of geo-referenced information, regression analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, automatic reporting and production of interactive documents.
