A Walk on the R Side: R for Data Analysis and Visualization

If you have data, R can be a great choice for data exploration and analysis and for creating beautiful data visualizations. This workshop will introduce participants to basic R tasks such as reading data into R, analyzing data, and plotting data. No prior programming knowledge is required, just a basic understanding of computer files and folders.

Prior to the workshop, participants should install R and RStudio Desktop. 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.
