 stem for statistical analysis and graphics\, which has become a tool of ch
 oice for biologists and biomedical scientists who need to analyse and visu
 alise large amounts of data. Due to its popularity\, R is continuously upd
 ated and extended with the latest libraries for data manipulation\, modell
 ing and visualisation. \n\nThis course will give an introduction to R and 
 Rstudio (an integrated development environment for R) in an interactive ma
 nner. Participants will receive example data sets to practise data manipul
 ation\, graphical exploration and statistical hypothesis testing.\n\n# Aud
 ience\nThis "First Steps with R" two-day course is addressed to beginners 
 wanting to become familiar with the R syntax\, environment\, and the most 
 common commands to start using R to explore and interpret their data.\n\n#
  Learning objectives\nAt the end of the course\, participants should be co
 mfortable with the R environment and be able to read\, understand and writ
 e R commands\, allowing them to implement and interpret a workflow for the
 ir data analysis:\n* interact with the R environment\n* import data\, expl
 ore it and summarise it\n* explore data with graphs\n* perform simple stat
 istical tests\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n#### ***Knowledge / competencies***\nA
 s it is a course for beginners\, no background in R or any programming lan
 guage is required. However\, you are encouraged to go through some of the 
 R documentation available [here](http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-r
 elease/R-intro.html).\n\nPlease also note this course is NOT a training on
  statistics but rather a training on how to use R to perform different tas
 ks\, statistics being one of them.\n#### ***Technical***\nA Wi-Fi enabled 
 laptop with latest [R](https://www.r-project.org/) and [RStudio](https://w
 ww.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download) versions installed. Th
