February 19th and 26th 1pm-3pm Wells Library Room 503
Instructor: Thomas Jackson, ISCC
Registration required, $10 fee
R is a free statistical programming language that provides many powerful tools for visualizing and analyzing data. R is used by statisticians around the world and is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of quantitative disciplines.
R is used exclusively with programming syntax (i.e. no "point-and-click" interface) and therefore has a steep learning curve for new programmers.
This four-hour workshop (split into two sessions) will introduce the fundamentals of R. During the first session, participants will become familiar with the R user environment, basic data structures, and syntax. Additionally, methods for creating and importing data files and downloading and using additional packages will be covered.
The second session will mainly focus on statistical topics: plotting data, computing descriptive statistics, and performing elementary statistical tests. As time permits, additional topics may include the general linear model (Regression and ANOVA) and writing functions.
Prerequisites
This workshop assumes no prior knowledge of R. Some prior knowledge of statistics is helpful, but not required.
Fees
The fee for the workshop is $10 total, which includes admission to both 2-hour sessions.
Payment
Fees are payable through an IU Student Account or an IU Faculty Research Account
