Data Carpentry {{ page.topic }} for {{ page.domain }}

Data Carpentry's aim is to teach researchers basic concepts, skills, and tools for working with data so that they can get more done in less time, and with less pain. The lessons below were designed for those interested in working with {{page.domain %}} data in {{page.topic %}}.

This is an introduction to R designed for participants with no programming experience. These lessons can be taught in 3/4 of a day. They start with some basic information about R syntax, the RStudio interface, and move through how to import CSV files, the structure of data.frame, how to deal with factors, how to add/remove rows and columns, and finish with how to calculate summary statistics for each level and a very brief introduction to plotting.
