Learning R: Exploring Data
October 13 at 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Join us for the R Fundamentals for Data Analysis workshop series! This series of introductory workshops is intended for individuals with little to no familiarity with R or similar tools that rely on a scripted environment. They are intended as a low-barrier entry into the world of using your computer to engage with data outside of graphical tools like Excel or SPSS.
Exploring Data: This week’s session will introduce participants to common tasks of initial data exploration. Topics covered include calculating missing values, basic summaries (quartiles, categories, counts, etc.), single variable descriptive stats (range, length, variance, etc.), and plotting distributions. By the end of the session, participants should be able to use a suite of tools to comprehensively describe their data and establish if it meets underlying criteria for subsequent analysis.
