Register

Overview

This hands-on workshop is designed to introduce RStudio to those who are looking to use RStudio for applied data analyses. No prior knowledge of RStudio is assumed. Topics include importing and exporting data, data coding, cleaning and management, as well as how to perform basic descriptive and inferential statistical analyses and data visualizations. The instructor will share detailed content slides, practice data sets, and annotated R code with the participants.

Expected outcomes

This workshop will help participants understand the fundamentals of how RStudio “operates” so that they can begin to use RStudio independently. The workshop focuses on basic R functions and practical issues like installing and loading packages, getting help, importing data, data manipulations, data analyses and data visualizations.

Pricing and schedule

Day 1: Thursday, April 14, 11AM to 4PM (EST)
Day 2: Friday, April 15, 11AM to 4PM (EST)
