Simultaneous access to two screens is highly recommended for best learning experience. Examples include one computer with two screens, two computers, one laptop and one tablet, etc.
Overview
Statistical analyses are regularly required for nearly every quantitative scientific study. Although simple data analysis tools are tenable for small-scale analyses, more rigorous software can enhance analysis replicability, improve data management, and facilitate more advanced analysis techniques in addition to scaling up to larger datasets. One such program, R is a free, open-source software that is standard for data analysis across numerous fields. This course will provide an introduction for using R to perform statistical analyses.
Objectives
Upon completing the workshop, attendees will have the confidence, knowledge, and resources to
- Create R projects to organize data and code
- Write R scripts to perform full data analysis starting from raw data, including:
- Importing, editing, cleaning, and summarizing data in R
- Performing diagnostic tests, including making diagnostic plots
- Conducting statistical analyses
- Creating basic plots to demonstrate statistical findings
- Find and understand online resources to learn more about R functionalities
Target Audience
Researchers who understand statistical concepts and have perhaps conducted analyses using Excel, SPSS, or similar and/or have taken BIOF 097, but have little to no experience using R.
