  About the workshop

This two-day workshop introduces the programming language R.  R is an open-source, widely used, and increasingly popular tool for statistical and data analyses, text mining, geospatial analysis, modelling, and a growing number of other applications. No prior knowledge is required. Students will learn the skills needed to start analyzing their own data.

The topics covered include:

  • the R environment (directories, workspace, scripts, and packages),
  • simple commands to get you started,
  • data structures (vector, matrix, data frames, lists),
  • basic data analysis tools (built-in statistical packages, plotting, etc.)

 As time permits, an introduction to functions may also be covered.

Note: This is an in-person 2-day workshop.

 Requirements

  • Participants need to bring a laptop with the latest versions of R and RStudio installed.

Note:

  • Day 1 is on Saturday, July 8, 2023
  • Day 2 is the following week, on Saturday, July 15, 2023
