Making Sense of Data: Handling, Processing, Visualising, Spatial Mapping, Estimating, and Analysing Data in R

The students will develop skills to conduct their own data management and analysis. They will be introduced to relevant concepts, terminology, and methods for handling data. At the end of the course, students will have a toolbox of scripts enabling them to optimize data management procedures by looping through data and using vector-oriented iterative processes. They will work in R studio, writing and debugging code for merging datasets, data cleaning and coding of different types of variables. They will be introduced to basic procedures for testing hypotheses. This includes tabulating basic statistical measures, specifying regression models, and interpreting and visualizing results. Throughout the course, the focus will be on making data handling process transparent and reflecting on the implications of data management and statistical approaches in relation to the validity and reliability of the results of the analysis.
