Summary of Week 3

Seeing how to handle and analyse your data using the command-line in Week 1, and how to write and run bash scripts to automate that handling during Week 2, in Week 3 you saw how you can analyse and visually represent your data using R and RStudio.

We first reviewed together the key concepts and basics of using the R language. You had an opportunity to learn how to manipulate lists, vectors or dataframes, and how to read and interrogate data from files to create simple plots under R. We then saw how RStudio can simplify these processes, and you learned how to work under RStudio to easily create simple or more complex plots using available packages specifically designed for that purpose.
