R-kursus for begyndere

Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology at Aalborg University

This course provides students, researchers, and PhD candidates with a foundational introduction to coding in R. Over three days, participants will be guided through six modules of 3–4 hours each, combining short lectures with hands-on exercises and instructor support. The first two days consist of in-class lectures and exercises, where the last day is a full day of coding using everything learned during the course. 

The course covers essential topics, including:

  • R syntax and fundamental functions
  • Navigating RStudio
  • Data handling and aggregation
  • Creating plots and tables
  • Writing functions and simple algorithms
  • Using R’s help features and effective Google search strategies
  • Basics of survival analysis
  • Structuring a project in R
  • And more

The course is designed for participants with no prior programming experience who wish to gain practical coding skills and apply R to their own projects or research.
