Summer seems like a good time to read books, go to the pool, learn Portuguese, or.... get better with R?! My graduate student, Nick, had a great idea. Why not have an informal gathering weekly this summer and improve our R skills? Well, Nick does not really need to improve his R skills from what I can tell, but he has agreed to lead this effort and personally, I am always in need of refreshment in the R department. (If you know me, you already know that I am a die-hard SAS user for almost everything... but I do use R when I want to be Bayesian or I am slaving over a hot spatially weighted regression.) In any event, we will use these meetings to go over some basic R skills, but also to get better at graphing and learn some basic analyses. This is a GREAT opportunity for graduate students who are taking my BSC 695-Experimental Design class in the fall, to get better at programming and get the aggravation of learning R out of the way!
Our first meeting will be Tuesday, May 31 9-11:00am in SEC 2438. During our first meeting, we will do a very quick overview of the basics. We will then cover:
Nick has prepared a group of files with the first week's material, which you can download here. The second week's (June 7) files are here.
