01What is R Programming
What is R Programming? In plain words.
R is a free, open-source programming language made for statistics and data analysis. It is maintained by the R Core Team and supported by thousands of add-on packages on CRAN. Most people work in RStudio, an editor that keeps code, console, plots and data side by side. With R you can import data from files and databases, clean it, calculate statistics and produce publication-quality charts.
R is widely used in research, healthcare and clinical studies, pharma, banking risk teams, market research and analytics firms. Packages such as dplyr, tidyr and ggplot2 make data work fast and readable, which is why analysts, statisticians and research scholars are often asked for R skills. It also sits comfortably alongside SQL, Excel and Python in a data team, so R users can share work easily with colleagues.
Vellore's many colleges, research institutions and large hospitals produce a lot of survey and clinical data that needs R skills. Analytics roles are also open in Chennai and Bengaluru, and many can be done remotely.
What you will be able to do
- Install and work confidently in R and RStudio
- Use variables, operators and R data types correctly
- Store data in vectors, lists, matrices, arrays, data frames and factors
- Write functions, conditional statements and loops
- Create point, line, scatter, box, bar, histogram and pie plots
- Build advanced charts with ggplot2
- Import, reshape and clean data with dplyr, tidyr, stringr and reshape2
- Calculate central tendency and dispersion and read data from a MySQL database
