Statistical Inference with R: Inference for Continuous Data

Building on a basic knowledge of R and introductory statistics, this workshop will walk you through the R functionality you'll need to use when conducting hypothesis tests on continuous variables. We will practice reading in data, conducting t-tests (both parametric and non-parametric), tests of equal variance, ANOVA, computing confidence intervals, and interpreting associated outputs. It is recommended that you have used R before (even if you consider yourself a beginner) and it is also recommended that you have taken an introductory statistics course.

Prior to the workshop, participants should install R and RStudio. Detailed instructions are provided in the video found below or on the Installing R and RStudio webpage. If you need help installing these, please schedule an R coding consultation and we'll be glad to help you.

 If you need personalized assistance with a data analysis, programming, or a coding project, consider booking a consultation with one of our librarian-experts. Learn more about our services to support programming and coding and for working with data.
