R - Statistics

Last Updated : 6 Mar, 2026

R is used for statistical computing and data analysis. It provides built-in functions and packages that help perform statistical calculations, analyze datasets and visualize results.

  • Perform descriptive and inferential statistical analysis
  • Apply statistical tests and probability distributions
  • Analyze datasets for research, data science and machine learning

Getting Started with R

This section introduces the basics of R, including how to install R and RStudio and understand the fundamental data types and data structures used for statistical analysis.

Probability in R

This section covers how we can calculate and visualize probabilities using R functions and distributions.

Descriptive Statistics in R

We will learn how to compute and interpret measures of central tendency, variability and data distribution.

Inferential Statistics in R

We will explore how we can make inferences about populations using statistical tests, confidence intervals and ANOVA.

Sampling Techniques in R

We will cover various sampling methods for drawing samples from a population using R.

Statistical Errors and Model Evaluation

We will see different types of errors and how we can calculate them using R.

Covariance & Correlation

We will explore how we can measure the relationship between two variables using covariance and correlation in R.

Graphical Representation

We will learn how we can create various plots in R to visualize data distributions and relationships.
