Instructor: Steven Martinez
This workshop will introduce basic R coding skills for an audience that has little to no experience in R.
We will cover a breadth of topics including data cleaning, data visualizations, and carrying out statistical analyses. While a background in statistical theory is helpful, the module was designed such that it should not be necessary to follow along.
- Download R (version will depend on whether you have Mac or Windows) https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/cran/
- Download RStudio (which allows us to navigate R, but is a different program than R)
