RECORDINGS OF WORKSHOPS:

We will record all our workshops for the remainder of the semester to enable those not able to attend the live version to instead watch the recorded version at their convenience. As the recordings become available, we will post them here:

https://research.library.gsu.edu/dataservices/data-certified#recorded-workshops

At the end of the recorded workshop, we will provide the check-in form link for attendance purposes. NOTE: These recordings will be removed Monday, April 20, at 8:00 am, to allow us to tally attendance for the Spring 2020 semester certificate awards.

This workshop is the first of a two-part series on R using RStudio and Rcmdr. R is a statistical software package that is rapidly being adopted both in academia and industry for analysis. R is widely used by scientists throughout the social and physical sciences for analysis of quantitative data ranging from simple descriptive analysis to complex statistical modeling.

Please note: This workshop completes all analysis using code. No previous knowledge of coding is required.

Workshop Topics:

• Downloading packages
• Opening data
• Frequency distributions
• Analysis: summary statistics
• Graphing (including 3D)

Prerequisites: None.

NOTE:

• This is the first workshop in a two-part series (R 2 is the second).
• R is a free program. Please feel free to download R, RStudio, and Rcmdr and bring in your own laptop if you prefer to work on your own machine.
• This workshop is for the Windows version of RStudio and Rcmdr.
• Please read our Workshops ~ Etiquette & Policies page for pertinent information to your workshop attendance.
