has become one of the most important tools in quantitative research, from computational biology to financial modeling. This two-hour workshop will expose participants to the basic elements of R, a computing environment for data analysis, through working examples.
The workshop is centered around the "data frame"—a data structure that resembles a spreadsheet, but can be manipulated in R to quickly generate sophisticated visualizations and analyses from large data sets. No previous programming experience is required,
although it is helpful to have some familiarity with spreadsheets (e.g., Excel) since we will draw parallels between R and Excel. The aim is to provide participants with the basic tools to explore the features of R and RStudio on their own, either on the RCC
compute cluster, or on their own computer.</span></span></div>
