Introduction:
R is a powerful tool for statistical analysis and data visualisation. In the last two decades, R has grown to be one of the 10 most popular programming languages in the world. It’s becoming increasingly used in academia for both teaching and research.
This course is aimed at anyone who has heard of R and would like to know how to use it to add meaning and understanding to data. R is freely available for the public to use and is a popular tool in all areas of academic scientific research, and also widely throughout the public, and private sector.
Make the course work for you
Depending on your experience and preference, you can choose to do all four days of the workshop or pick the days that are most relevant to you.
Facilities and equipment
Access to desktop computers is provided in our computing suite, but you may also wish to bring your own laptop so you can use R in a familiar context.
“The practical work and working through examples yourself was great. This helped me take in the knowledge and allowed for better understanding of the examples. Additionally, the time allowed to work with your own data was very helpful as everyone has different things they want to get out of the workshop.
Great instruction from brilliant lecturers who were more than happy to impart their knowledge from their diverse fields. To see the approaches and different ways of using the R product was great. The graphical applications were really useful and something that from a commercial approach could work really well to convince businesses that data has a place in decision making.”
