(in Polish) R i Python w finansach 2600-FCz1RPF
The course introduces participants to working environments in R and Python, the installation of external packages, and the fundamentals of using scripts written in these languages. It covers popular functions, data analysis tools, and methods for presenting results. Students will acquire techniques for handling datasets, as well as the basics of object-oriented programming, data structures, and functions. By the end of the course, participants will have gained the skills necessary to work with digital finance data in R and Python. In addition to in-class sessions, students will complete a project related to digital finance.
Topics Covered
• Installation of software and libraries, using the interface, basic operations, and creating and saving scripts.
