EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS APRIL 22



The non-profit organization *Information Institute* (
http://www.information-institute.org) and faculty from Virginia Commonwealth
University (VCU) are offering a live, interactive, synchronous online course
entitled Fundamentals of Using R. The early registration cost (through April
22) for the 14-hour, 5 week course is $195 (student); $250 (faculty); and
$295 (practitioner). All of the live class sessions that
registered participants attend are recorded and provided to those
participants so they can repeatedly review the live sessions at their
convenience.



This course is designed for people who are curious about R, new to R, and
who would like to obtain a basic knowledge of R capabilities that apply to
any ultimate intended use of R. This course instructs about the R
environment: using workspaces; importing and exporting data; R data types,
data structures, and objects; writing simple and complex scripts; essential
R functions and packages; writing your own R functions and packages;
programming with R; publication-style 2-D and 3-D graphics capabilities
using special R packages, and many other essential topics. The course is
designed to serve as a useful knowledge foundation regardless of one’s
ultimate use of R (for example, statistical and data analyses, programming,
writing scripts or creating packages, using graphics, etc.). There is more
information at the URLs below.
