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 Verona 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.

- Requests for participation will be considered following the registration order, considering that priority will be given to CdLM students, in particular to students of the Master’s degree in Economics, of the Master’s degree in Economics and Data Analysis, and of the Master’s degree in Banking and Finance. Students are required to be present at the first lesson, or to send an email to the tutor to communicate their absence.

- Participation to the course does not require any particular background knowledge of the software R.

- The frequency to the classes is compulsory. Students are required to attend at least 2/3 of the exercise lessons and tutorial activities in order to be admitted to the final evaluation.

The course consists of 18 hours of exercise lessons and tutorial activities (plus 2 hours of final examination).

The calendar of the course of the first semester will be available as soon as possible.

The calendar of the course of the second semester will be available as soon as possible.

Program

R è un software open-source per l’analisi statistica. Nato alla fine degli anni Novanta dal software S, R è un linguaggio multi-paradigma che nell’arco di due decenni ha acquisito un ruolo centrale tra i software che si occupano di analisi statistica, grazie anche al forte sviluppo che ha ricevuto lo sviluppo di pacchetti (attualmente più di 16000) che implementano tecniche e metodi provenienti dai campi più diversi della statistica metodologica e applicata. Negli anni più recenti, grazie allo sviluppo di un’intera famiglia di pacchetti volti a semplificare ed organizzare su nuove basi le modalità di interazione e programmazione con R, il software ha trovato nuovi sbocchi per esprimere al meglio le proprie potenzialità. Il linguaggio R, assieme a Python, è oggi considerato il linguaggio di riferimento nell’ambito della moderna data science e, in particolare, nel machine learning, e si interfacciano agevolmente con molti altri software quali Excel, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI ecc.

Il corso si propone di fornire le basi della programmazione e della logica di funzionamento del software R introducendo al contempo i partecipanti ad alcune delle innovazioni più recenti che lo stanno interessando. Oltre ad un’introduzione al linguaggio R e a R Studio, il corso verterà sui seguenti argomenti: tecniche di trattamento e manipolazione dati (data management), strumenti di grafica avanzata per l’analisi statistica, cenni sulla rappresentazione grafica di informazioni geo-referenziate, analisi di regressione, simulazioni Monte Carlo, cenni sulla reportistica automatica e sulla produzione di documenti interattivi.

Examination Methods

Students are required to attend at least 2/3 of the exercise lessons/tutorial activity in order to be admitted to the final evaluation. The final examination, which will take place online through a Zoom meeting, will consist in a written exam, followed by an oral examination, if necessary, on the use of the software R. There will be just one date for the final examination.
