Workshop: Introduction to R for Absolute Beginners

Description

R is an open source software for statistical computing and graphics. This virtual "Introduction to R" workshop is for people who want to learn this data analysis tool but have little or no experience in any programming languages.

The first half of this three-hour workshop, led by Marley Kalt, data management consultant at the Milton S. Eisenhower Library, will focus on some basic concepts of coding, and the second half will have several hands-on activities to learn basic R skills, such as installing R packages and importing and exploring data. Some troubleshooting tips and R resources will be provided at the end of this workshop.
