R, ggplot, and Simple Linear Regression – Free Udemy Courses

Data science skills are in much demand today, but it is not just mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists who can benefit from acquiring them. Data science skills are for everyone!

In this course, I help you to begin using R, one of the most important tools in data science, and the excellent graphics package for R, ggplot2. Along the way, I also show you the basics of simple linear regression.

There are no prerequisites. We begin with the installation of R and RStudio, and I introduce R and ggplot skills as they are needed as we progress toward an understanding of linear regression.

Students should be able to complete the course within two weeks, working at an easy pace.

Linear regression is a machine learning technique. I hope to create more courses like this one in the future, teaching machine learning, R, ggplot, dplyr, and programming, all at the same time.
