Course Overview
Basic statistical analyses using the R program
If you want to learn how to perform the basic statistical analyses in the R program, you have come to the right place.
Now you don’t have to scour the web endlessly in order to find how to compute the statistical indicators in R, how to build a cross-table, how to build a scatterplot chart or how to compute a simple statistical test like the one-sample t test. Everything is here, in this course, explained visually, step by step.
So, what will you learn in this course?
First of all, you will learn how to manipulate data in R, to prepare it for the analysis: how to filter your data frame, how to recode variables and compute new variables.
Afterwards, we will take care about computing the main statistical figures in R: mean, median, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis etc., both in the whole population and in subgroups of the population.
Then you will learn how to visualize data using tables and charts. So we will build tables and cross-tables, as well as histograms, cumulative frequency charts, column and mean plot charts, scatterplot charts and boxplot charts.
Since assumption checking is a very important part of any statistical analysis, we could not elude this topic. So we’ll learn how to check for normality and for the presence of outliers.
Finally, we will perform some basic, one-sample statistical tests and interpret the results. I’m talking about the one-sample t test, the binomial test and the chi-square test for goodness-of-fit.
So after graduating this course, you will know how to perform the essential statistical procedures in the R program. So… enroll today!Course Content

My experience with “Statistics with R – Beginner Level” on Udemy was thoroughly positive—this course proved to be an excellent match for my learning style. The pacing is spot-on: concepts are introduced neither too quickly nor too slowly, so I never felt overwhelmed or bored. From the first lecture, the instructor breaks down statistical ideas, and the hands-on examples sprinkled throughout each section make it easy to see how the theories work in practice. What solidified my understanding were the end-of-section questions. After following along with the exercises, I could immediately test myself on the same material, which helped reinforce key points and identify any gaps in my knowledge. The instructor’s clear explanations, engaging teaching style, and willingness to anticipate common pitfalls made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it’s an excellent course—well structured, easy to follow, and led by an instructor who knows how to keep you both challenged and confident.
