Seminar’s objectives:
This course is primarily aimed for PhD students from the faculties participating in the GGG and who plan to conduct empirical analyses within their PhD project. Prior knowledge of R is not required. However, the participants are supposed to be familiar with basic statistics (e.g. from introductory courses in statistics or econometrics).
The freely available statistical software environment R has established itself as a de-facto standard in many areas of statistics over the last years. The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction into R and to repeat and illustrate statistical concepts that are relevant for applied empirical studies with R. The topics of the workshop will be adjusted to the interests of the participants.
