Stats Chat: Getting started with R and RStudio In-Person
This is a hands-on introduction to R, a free software environment for statistical computing. Before learning about scripting and syntax in R, this will help beginners orient themselves with R and RStudio, open data files, get required packages, and save their work. Most importantly, we will talk about how to utilize the rich documentation and strong community support for R when searching the internet for help! No prior knowledge of programming is required.
Stats Chat is a weekly workshop series that dives into data and statistical learning every Thursday afternoon at 2pm. New to quantitative research or looking to level up your data skills? Join us at the Geospatial Map and Data Centre at the main floor of the TMU Library!
