Our first R program

In this section, we will create our first R program for data analysis. We'll use the human development data available from the United Nations development program. The initiative produces a Human Development Index (HDI) corresponding to each country, which signifies the level of economic development, including general public health, education, and various other societal factors.

Further information on HDI can be found at http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/human-development-index-hdi.The site also hosts an FAQ page that provides short summary explanations of the various characteristics of the program at http://hdr.undp.org/en/faq-page/human-development-index-hdi.

The following diagram from the UN development program's website summaries the concept at a high level:
