Continued Introduction to Data Analysis Using R

When: Wednesdays, June 9 and 16, 2021, noon to 1:30 pm (CDT)

Where: Zoom

What: In this two-part workshop, participants will learn to clean, analyze, and visualize data using R, a popular programming language for statistical computing and graphics.

Key concepts include:

• Data manipulation using the “tidyverse,” a collection of R packages that provide a framework for data analysis
• Working with panel data, handling date variables, and computing rates in order to compare groups in panel data
• Building data visualizations, including bar plots, simple moving averages, and side-by-side plots
• And more!

Workshop prerequisites include familiarity with:

• Layout of RStudio, including the Console, Script Editor, Environment, and Help panes
• Writing and running R code using the Script Editor in RStudio
• Fundamentals of R syntax: loading installed packages, creating objects, and calling built-in functions

Please register here by noon on Monday, June 7 (when registration closes). Once registered, you will receive Zoom coordinates. This workshop is presented over two days; participants should plan to attend both sessions. For more information, please read these FAQs.

This workshop will not be recorded. Future training programs will be announced on our website.
