New CourseLevel 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Statistical Computing with R Programming

Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Statistical Computing with R programming is designed to provide in-depth knowledge, practical skills and key understanding to learners about calculus, in-depth and statistical computing in the R environment. Statistical Computing is an expanding area in statistical research, methods, tools and applications. It includes computationally intensive statistics, such as Monte Carlo methods, bootstrap, MCMC, density estimation, nonparametric regression, classification and clustering, and multivariate data visualisation. R is a statistical computing environment based on the S language. The software is free under the terms of the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License. You can download the course as per the course lesson instructions from our learning platform. This course is self-paced. Therefore you can spend the maximum time downloading study materials & work on real-life examples to analyse, assess and interpret data with real-life practical experience to use a range of computation techniques using R programming.

At the end of this qualification, you will be able to

• Understand statistical tools, techniques and applications
• Apply statistical methods to new problems
• Analyse and assess data and interpret results
• Apply statistical computing techniques using statistical software R to the data and get results

Course Topics of Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Statistical Computing with R Programming
