ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Prerequisites (description):

At least one semester course in Statistics.

Short description:

During this course we will cover intermediate and advanced topics related to programming in R, topics related to data manipulation, processing exploration and visualization.

You will learn both tools for static graphics (ggplot2) as well as tools for interactive graphics (plotly, rcharts).

In addition, we will also talk about basic principles that are important when working with data visualization, like geometry of the plot, data composition and so on.

The lecture is divided into two parts, first is related to R programming, packages like dplyr, tidyr, functions, writing own packages, shiny applications.

Second part is related to data visualization libraries in R.
