Extra Fundamentals of R

Extra Fundamentals of R is an extension of the Udemy course Essential Fundamentals of R. Extra Fundamentals of R introduces additional topics of interest and relevance utilizing many specific R–scripted examples. These broad topics include:

(1) Details on using Base, GGPlot and Lattice graphics;

(2) An introduction to programming and simulation in R; and

(3) Character and string processing in R.

All materials, scripts, slides, documentation and anything used or viewed in any one of the video lessons is provided with the course. The course is useful for both R–novices, as well as to intermediate R users. Rather than focus on specific and narrow R–supported skill sets, the course paints a broad canvas illustrating many specific examples in three domains that any R user would find useful. The course is a natural extension of the more basic Udemy course, Essential Fundamentals of R and is highly recommended for those students, as well as for other new students (and for practicing professionals) interested in the three domains enumerated above.

Base, GGplot and Lattice (or “trellis) graphics are the three principal graphics systems in R. They each operate under different “rules” and each present useful and often brilliant graphics displays. However, each of these three graphics systems are generally designed and used for different domains or applications.
