R for demographers: advanced topics

In September 2012, I organized this intensive course at Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital for researchers with already some background in R. I provide in advance a list of possible topics and, finally, they were interested in the following ones:

• Piece-Wise Constant Hazard Model

• Enhancing your Output, i.e. how to make nice plots

• Matrix Algebra

• Smoothing Methods
