R is quickly gaining popularity within the pharmaceutical industry due to it being a very powerful object-orientated language, and is able to produce analyses and high quality graphics. It can be used for high performance computing and allows easy integration with other software.

This course is aimed at statisticians who are experienced with other software languages (such as SAS) and would like to increase their proficiency in R.

Participation will provide access to extensive course materials in the form of a ‘bookdown’ site.  However, this is designed as a hands-on, interactive course.  Both you and the trainers will work entirely within the RStudio Cloud development environment, which will remain accessible between virtual sessions in order to further explore and cement your understanding.
