R programming for beginners - Why you should use R

R programming is typically used to analyze data and do statistical analysis. In this video, I talk about why R is a better option than other statistical packages and software options (including SPSS, STATA, SAS etc.) I also give a short demonstration in which I calculate the mean, median of two variables, plot a histogram and calculate the correlation coefficient.

You literary explain every question i've had about R in 3min! I'm taking a class this summer and we have to use R I'm a little nervous because of the programming language aspect, but you've convinced me it will be so much better than data messaging in Excel and Jump!

Absolutely love the way you explain. Learned from your short videos 10x more than in the
Thank you.

This is great. I look forward to mastering R. One of the best skills I can gain as a public health practitioner.

This is the shortest and sweetest video giving sneak peek into R Programming. Greg is successful in creating enough interest to start learning R. And yes R Programming is not scary and comes across to be intuitive. Thanks Greg.

Your enthusiasm and your smile is what caused me not to get an anxiety attack or palpitations beating out of my chest. I have never ever been so nervous from course material in my life as I take statistics for the first time in my life. I really hope our professor allows us to use R instead of Microsoft Excel :@ THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, I'm sharing this channel with my friends, we are all soil scientists and are in the process of learning R and these videos are awesome! We are data heavy and have had limited means to analyze our data other than excel; R will transform how we analyze and explain our data.

I couldn't agree more, reproducible and repeatable analysis is key to data analytics and one of the many reasons R rocks!! Thanks for your great content :)

I’m going to take a intro to coding with R and this video was really good made me understand what to expect thank you.

[jbcom]

In this short presentation, i realized the immense power of data and analysis compounded with R. Now i have to learn data analysis

I'm taking a free R class online this weekend for Social Work stats. Nice to know you are here to help me! Thanks!!

Dr Martin - Another wonderful resource you are directly statistical novices towards. Great idea to start a YouiTube Channel.

I have a Viva tomorrow, came here for the definition and somehow I want to learn the language now, your enthusiasm is contagious❣️❣️

[nkunam]

I can't find words to describe how happy I get listening to you 🙏🙏🙏

[kofimawuli]

You are doing a great job sir, keep it up. You made me come back to r .

[rockylo]

Great job! You are the best R video teacher I have found. Much appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with R with interested learners. Great work!

[Smoucan]

I'm SO intrigued and I can't wait to try and learn R! Subscribed and ready to go through your other videos!

[lawrencebacomo]

Day 1 of Learning R, I'm a fresh grad and hope to master R after watching all of your videos. Thank you for your dedication to teaching, I Hope to publish Great papers using R sooner through learning from you. God Bless you!

Very clear explanation, thank you! I have to learn R for a business analysis class this semester, and I was very intimidated by the thought of programming. It seems much more approachable after this.
