sapply() features, t-test with R, chi-square test with R, ANOVA using R

9,10 Correlation and Regression Analysis with R: correlation coefficients, corplot() function,
regression procedure (multiple linear), model validation, stepwise regression, prediction from
regression.
Factor Analysis using R: concept of factors, eigenvalues of principal components,
commonality and variance lost, factoring functions in R, composition of factors/naming the
factors, factor rotation.
11,12 Clustering of Data with R: concept of clustering (unsupervised learning), concept of
distance, hierarchical clusters and their working logic, dendograms, R functions for
hierarchical clustering, concept of cluster profile and cluster means, understanding working of
k-means algorithm, performing k-means using R, determination of cluster profiles
