Come and play in the R statistical sandpit! This workshop introduces R statistical coding and analysis. We begin with an introduction to the thinking required to interact with a programming environment, then address basic commands in R; these cover using R like a calculator, a scientific calculator or a spreadsheet, then progress to using simple functions. We show you how to create and inspect objects in R and how to begin to interpret the error messages you may obtain.
Intended audience: This workshop targets beginners. However, different skill levels from absolute beginner to intermediate will be accommodated, with exercises aimed at "white belt" or "brown belt" levels. Previous experience using statistical packages is not a pre-requisite but may be advantageous.
Preparation: During this online workshop, participants must use their own laptop or PC and download free R software before participating, referring to links provided.
Connection to other workshops: This workshop fills the gap for absolute beginners who find (so-called) introductory R courses a bit confusing. It also helps experienced programmers to understand why R is so different, setting them up to more easily absorb self-paced learning. This is a recommended prerequisite to all of the graphics workshops, and several of the statistical analysis workshops.
This session is for current Griffith University staff and students only.
