R: An introduction to the statistical computing program language
R is a programming language and environment designed for statistical computing. If you do statistical analysis, data visualization, or data manipulation, it’s a powerful tool that is used by academics and data scientists alike. It supports reproducible workflows and helps you take analysis beyond using built-in models on relatively clean data sets as you might with other statistical analysis programs. If you’ve never used R before, or you are looking for a review of the basics, start here. This is a two session workshop, and participants are expected to attend both days. Participants are encouraged to continue learning R with R: Intro to the Tidyverse, which teaches packages that make data manipulation tasks easier, and R: Visualization with ggplot2 to learn more about data visualization in R. Together, these workshops will give you a well-rounded introduction to R.
