Learn R Programming & Analysis

Learn R programming for data analysis and statistics, from your first vector to a regression line. Short lessons explain each idea, then you write R code in the built-in editor, run it and see the result, the table or the chart.

This is an R tutorial, an R course and a practice lab in one app, with an AI mentor for the moments you get stuck.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 43 R courses with 159 lessons, from beginner (A1) to advanced (C1)

• R code editor and compiler: write R and run it on a real R 4.0 interpreter on our servers (internet connection needed)

• Charts from your own code: plot(), hist(), boxplot() and barplot() draw right in the app

• Data frames shown as sortable tables, with a column summary and missing values (NA) highlighted

• R Notebook: build an analysis cell by cell

• Dataset Lab: mtcars, iris, airquality and five practice CSV files with guided tasks, or import your own CSV

• Statistics workshop: 12 interactive simulators (normal curve, central limit theorem, p-values, correlation, fitting a line, sample size, boxplot anatomy and more), each showing the R code behind it

• R Error Doctor: turns cryptic R error messages into plain language and suggests a fix

• AI data mentor: reads your output, table or chart and explains what it means

• 3 end-to-end analysis projects with a shareable report card

• 20 guided R coding projects and 60 missions (easy, medium, hard)

• A daily data puzzle, streaks, XP and a skill map

• World Coding Challenge: 3 global rounds every day

• Final exam and R certificate (Pro)

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• R basics: vectors, data types, operators, sequences, matrices, factors and missing values

• Functions, control flow, environments, error handling and debugging

• Strings, dates, sorting, ranking and type conversion

• Data manipulation and the tidyverse: dplyr, tidyr, importing data with readr and readxl

• Data visualization with base R and with ggplot2

• Exploratory data analysis, statistical analysis, probability and simulation

• Advanced R: purrr, machine learning with tidymodels, random forests, Shiny apps, Plumber APIs, text mining, geospatial analysis, package development, Bayesian statistics with RStan, performance and parallel computing

ABOUT THE CODE RUNNER

The in-app compiler runs base R 4.0 with its recommended packages. Lessons that use packages such as dplyr, ggplot2 or tidymodels teach the code and the ideas; to run those packages yourself, use R on a computer. Where a base R way exists, the Error Doctor shows it.

HOW A SESSION LOOKS

1. Open today's lesson or pick up where you left off

2. Read a short explanation and answer a quick question

3. Open the R editor, change the code, run it, look at the chart or the table

4. Ask the AI mentor when something doesn't make sense

WHO IT'S FOR

• Students taking statistics, biostatistics, psychology, economics or data analysis classes that use R

• Analysts moving from spreadsheets to R programming

• Beginners who want a first programming language made for data

• Anyone who wants to read R code and understand what a statistical result says
