What you'll learn:

In under an hour we will cover the fundamentals of R programming. The first part of the video will be about understanding WHY we do things in R and then in the second part I will show you HOW to do things in R. We will cover the following topics:

  • Installing R & RStudio

  • Installing and Loading Packages

  • Tour of RStudio

  • Data Structures: Data Frames and Vectors

This course is designed for someone who is new to programming and each video is relatively straightforward. The last video is a bit more challenging as we cover loops within loops. But by the end of this course you will be comfortable with the basics of R and be ready to learn more advanced topics.

If you are one of my Actuarial Students, this course is compulsory.
