About the Course

In this course you will learn how to program in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples....

Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

"R Programming" forces you to dive in deep.

These skills serve as a strong basis for the rest of the data science specialization.

Material is in depth, but presented clearly. Highly recommended!

The course progressed very rapidly. Only the basics of R programming were covered in the videos, but then the assignments were SUPER hard!

A very good course and discussion board is the greatest help where you got directions to which area you need to explore to find answers.

I feel this course should be called "Base R Programming" since tidyverse is becoming the new standard for R programming in data science.

Learned many things and many R tricks from this course. Discussed interesting topics I wouldn't have found or thought to search myself.

The format of this course, especially the assignments, forces you to go beyond the normal "memorize, regurgitate" ... loved the format.
