Description

Modern technology has led to the generation of unprecedented amounts of data, prompting the need 
to train researchers to leverage data for decision-making in public health and medicine. This course assumes no prior knowledge of R or data science and serves as a gentle, practical introduction to data wrangling, visualizing, and modeling data using the R statistical programming language. We also emphasize the importance of reproducible research and effective data science communication.
