Data Analysis and Visualization with R

This course will introduce students to the use of R programming for univariate and multivariate analysis and visualization, mapping and spatial analysis. By the end of the course students will be able to identify and describe basic computer language programming concepts including syntax, data types, variables, operators, loops, and functions; use RStudio or another IDE for R to develop, test, and execute R script; operationalize these concepts to perform basic statistical, mapping, spatial analyses and data management tasks using R; and apply basic statistics and visual analytics enabled through R to examine and analyze real world geographic issues.
