The R workshop series will introduce participants to the fundamentals of using the R programming language and associated tools for the purposes of performing common data analysis tasks. The R programming language is 100% free to use and is extremely popular amongst researchers in both academia, business, and non-profits. It is especially useful for conducting statistical analysis.

This series consists of four workshops. For individuals who are new to R, coding, or data analysis, it is highly recommended that the workshops be attended in sequential order. Additionally, while these workshops are taught exclusively using code (i.e. there are no point-and-click methods), attendees do not need to have any prior experience with programming, coding, or scripting. All are welcome.

Workshop Topics:

-- Using RStudio to work with R

-- R syntax, commands, functions, and packages

-- Opening, viewing, and exploring data

-- Generating basic descriptive statistics from data

Prerequisites: None.

Software Requirements for Hands-on Participation:
