SUMMARY:QCL Workshop - R: Programming Basics - Level 1
DESCRIPTION:You have data and you need a tool to do something with it. Whether you’re a data scientist\, political scientist\, economist\, or biologist\, it’s increasingly apparent that data is ever-present and we need to do a little statistics\, a little visualization\, and a little manipulation of this data. That is precisely what the programming language R is built for. In this workshop\, we will cover the basics of getting started with R and R Studio. \n  \nLearning Objectives: (You will learn how to) \n\nUnderstand the R-Studio environment on the cloud\nUse the console for basic statistics tools\nProduce documents with plots of your data findings\n\n  \nPre-requisites \n\nPosit Cloud account; if you don’t have one yet\, please create a new account at https://posit.cloud\nNo prior experience with R or any programming is needed.\n\n  \nInstructor: Daniel Perez \n  \nParticipants \nAll CMC Students\, Faculty\, and Staff\, and All Claremont Colleges Students\, Faculty\, and Staff.
