Intro to R image

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.

The R language allows the user, for instance, to program a series of commands to pre-process and manipulate data and then analyse that data before tailoring, presenting and plotting the results. R packages are pre-written code to find a solution to problem. R packages shared by other R users allows the user to find efficient solution to problem with ease.

Not related to any specific area of research, this two-days command-based workshop will go through basics of R with further emphasis on data management and manipulation.

Firstly introducing participants with R, a command-driven language for statistical analysis, then progressing from data entry to data management and manipulation using the widely popular “tidyverse” package, finally, visualisation of data using the ggplot2 package.

No experience or previous knowledge to R is required to attend this course.
