Program Outline

It is the second day of our two-day Introduction to R for Life & Social Sciences course. The day will show you how to use R to carry out commonly used statistical techniques. You may bring your own data for analysis or use the example datasets we provide. You will also see how the impressive graphics capabilities of R can be used to produce customised charts. As well as getting to know R, we will show you how RStudio can be used as a front-end for managing your R programming. For courses held "in person", you can use the computers in our training room or bring your own laptop. For online courses, we recommend downloading the free software in advance of the course and can give instructions if necessary. Alternatively, remote access to computers in our labs can be arranged.
