Introduction to Statistical Programming in R In-Person

Learn R by using it to answer a real statistical question. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll work through a complete analysis while learning the core programming concepts and practices needed to continue exploring R independently.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Navigate R in Positron or RStudio and run code from a script
  • Work with objects, functions, packages, and data frames
  • Import, inspect, and prepare real-world data
  • Calculate descriptive statistics and create visualizations
  • Conduct and interpret an introductory statistical test
  • Organize a reproducible project and communicate results

Preparation

  • Bring a laptop with R and Positron installed.
  • If you need installation help, attend on of two StatLab Tech Support Sessions on September 15 and 16.
  • Note that while no coding experience is required, this workshop will work on the assumption that R and Positron are readily available. If you need support and you are unable to make a Tech Support session, please contact us at statlab@yale.edu.
