The scientific community at the global level is fast becoming aware of the rising use of open-source tools such as R and Python for data analysis. Unfortunately, in spite of the awareness, the conversion of the intrigue to the practical knowledge in utilization of the open-source tools for routine day-to-day data analysis is seriously lacking both among physicians and medical scientists. This book enables physician-scientists to understand the complexity of explaining a programming/ data-analytic language to a healthcare professional and medical scientist. It simplifies and explains how R can be used in medical projects and routine office works. It also talks about the methodologies to convert the knowledge to practice. The book starts with the introduction to the structure of R programming language in the initial chapters, followed with explanations of utilizing R in the basics of data analysis like data importing and exporting, operations on a data frame, parametric and non-parametric tests, regression, sample size calculation, survival analysis, receiver operator characteristic analysis (ROC) and techniques of randomization.
