Wahlmöglichkeiten innerhalb des Moduls (Options within the module):
Keine
Empfohlene Voraussetzungen (prerequisites):

It is recommended that you have visited one of the following courses:

  • ​W4479 Econometrics
  • W4451 Financial Econometrics and Quantitative Management
  • Or that you have prior experience with the programming language R

    • Inhalte (short description):

    ​Part I of this course focuses on data visualization, data wrangling and data analysis by means of modern R-packages  as well as programming of functions, algorithms etc..

    The topics of Part II are more advanced. The students will learn how to build own R packages, work with R Markdown (a powerful tool for combining analysis, text editing and documenting code), create interactive applications by means of the "shiny" framework, manage data with R and SQL and learn how to use the programming language Python from within RStudio (an IDE for R).
