Workshop: Introduction to R/R Studio

This workshop provides a gentle introduction to using R with RStudio. R is a free, open-source software environment and programming language designed specifically for data analysis; RStudio is a free, open source integrated development environment (IDE) for R that provides a friendly interface for viewing graphs, data tables, R code, and output. In this hands-on workshop we’ll get started navigating R with RStudio, loading libraries, and importing data. We’ll do some basic data manipulation, exploration, and analysis, and begin creating plots and graphics. And we’ll cover some key practices and shortcuts for using R effectively and helpful resources for learning more.

R is available to everyone, and no prior knowledge is needed for this workshop. Please bring a laptop to fully participate.
