August 10-11 (course 1) and 17-18 (course 2)
Course Overview
R is widely used and extremely powerful statistical software. This course assumes that you have never used R before. You will learn how to obtain and install R, which is open-source software, and RStudio, which is a versatile, user-friendly interface for using R. It is very useful to do this course before our introductory statistics course, Introductory Statistics for Researchers.
This course will be held over two half-days and will cover some basic features of R and lay the groundwork for you to improve your R skills independently. The course is self-paced and focused on developing practical skills.
Course Outline
This course will cover topics including:
- Basics of interacting with R – calculations, saving variables so you can reuse them, data types and structures, organising R code in scripts
- Tidyverse – a basic introduction to tidy R code
- Data – reading in and organising data (from spreadsheets) with dplyr
- Plotting – make beautiful figures with ggplot
Course Requirement: You will need a computer with administrator access (to install R and RStudio software before attending the course).
