Seminar -Advanced R
Course Description and Goals:
The course teaches advanced topics in R programming that become increasingly relevant for everyday applications in both applied and theoretical econometrics and empirical economics. It covers, amongst other topics:
• Advanced programming concepts, including object orientation, profiling, and debugging. • Packages for modern applications in data science. • Cutting-edge R extensions, for example for parallel computing and C++ integration. • Applications relevant to empirical economics and econometrics.

Course description
R is a powerful programming language and statistical environment that is free to use and offers extensive data analysis and graphical visualization capabilities. This course takes participants from the initial introduction to R to the basics needed to further develop their skills independently or in subsequent R courses. In terms of content, the course covers the basics of programming in R. The course consists of short lecture sections, live coding, and many hands-on exercises to directly apply your new learning.

Short description
For April of 2025 we recommend the Advance R for Econometrics Seminar, offered by the University of Duisburg-Essen.
The course teaches advanced topics in R programming that become increasingly relevant for everyday applications in both applied and theoretical econometrics and empirical economics. It covers, amongst other topics, advanced concepts in programming (object orientation, profiling, debugging), packages for modern applications in data science and cutting-edge R extensions, e.g., for parallel computing and C++ integration.
