Introduction to R: starting from scratch

Learn to conduct reproducible research data analysis in R and RStudio without prior R experience. Lectures, live coding and practical exercises introduce vectors, matrices, data frames, lists, packages and functions. Participants import and inspect data, handle missing values, subset and join datasets, calculate summaries and export results. Further sessions develop ggplot2 visualisations, R Markdown reports, project organisation, reusable functions and strategies for finding help and troubleshooting errors. Exercises can use supplied datasets or participants’ own research data.
