Getting Started with R and R Studio Part 2 Online
This 2-part introductory workshop aims to teach basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data in R so that you can get more done in less time, and apply concepts of reproducibility to your research. This is an introduction to R designed for participants with no R programming experience. Part 1 of the workshop covers basic information about R syntax and the RStudio interface, including installing packages and working with vectors. Part 2 will cover importing CSV files, working with dataframes, how to deal with categorical variables, how to add/remove rows and columns using the popular dplyr package, and how to calculate summary statistics from a dataframe. Taking Part 1 and Part 2 is encouraged, but optional
Learners should bring a laptop and should already have installed R and RStudio on their computer. Installation and set-up instructions, as well as a detailed curriculum for the workshop can be accessed here.
