1. Introduction to R and RStudio

• R and RStudio environment: Understanding the differences between the R programming language and the RStudio Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
• Installation and Setup: Learning to install R and RStudio.
• Basic Syntax and Operations: Understanding core R concepts like variables, data types, vectors, matrices, lists, and data frames.
• R Packages: Learning to install and load necessary R packages, particularly those within the Tidyverse, like dplyr and ggplot2. 

2. Data manipulation and preprocessing

• Importing and Exporting Data: Reading data from various sources (CSV, Excel, databases) and writing data to files.
• Data Cleaning: Techniques for identifying and handling missing values, outliers, and duplicates.
• Data Transformation: Converting raw data into a suitable format, including scaling, normalizing, and encoding categorical variables.
• Using dplyr for data manipulation: Applying functions like filter(), select(), mutate(), arrange(), and summarize() to manipulate data frames. 

3. Statistical analysis and modeling

• Descriptive Statistics: Summarizing and presenting data using measures of central tendency (mean, median) and dispersion (variance, standard deviation).
• Inferential Statistics: Making predictions and inferences about populations based on sample data.
• Hypothesis Testing: Evaluating assumptions and testing the significance of relationships between variables using techniques like t-tests, ANOVA, and Chi-Square tests.
• Correlation and Regression: Exploring relationships between variables using correlation and regression analysis (e.g., linear and logistic regression).
• Model Development and Evaluation: Building and evaluating models, including assessing for overfitting and underfitting conditions, and tuning model performance using regularization and grid search. 

4. Data visualization

• Using ggplot2: Creating a wide range of plots and charts, including bar charts, histograms, pie charts, scatter plots, line graphs, and box plots.
• Customizing Visualizations: Enhancing charts with annotations, titles, themes, and faceting.
• Mapping: Creating maps with geolocation data using packages like Leaflet.
• Interactive Dashboards: Building interactive dashboards using the Shiny package. 

5. Reporting and documentation

• Using R Markdown: Creating dynamic documents that combine text, R code, and output.
• Formatting and Exporting Reports: Learning to format and export R Markdown documents into various formats like HTML, PDF, or Word. 

       Throughout the course, hands-on labs, projects, and case studies are often incorporated to provide practical experience and apply learned skills to real-world scenarios.
