PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING ON DATA MINING AND BIG DATA ANALYSIS BY USING R SOFTWARE
Date: 09 – 13 March 2026
Venue: Masterclass board room; Tetex house, Dar es Salaam
Fee: 700,000
Gain a strong foundation in data in the most commonly used programs R. In this professional training, you have the opportunity to build and leverage your data skills for upward mobility at any stage in your career. You’ll learn the six steps of the data lifecycle, using different case studies and contexts. You will analyze, manage, and communicate data, working in R to achieve basic R programming competencies. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language.
Trainer will use visualization techniques to explore new data sets and determine the most appropriate approach. We will describe robust statistical techniques as alternatives when data do not fit assumptions required by the standard approaches. By using R scripts to analyze data, you will learn the basics of conducting reproducible research.
The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. R software runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Linux, Windows and Mac OS.
