IACS ComputeFest Workshop:
Basic R Programming for Data Analysis
(presented by IQSS)

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

1:30pm - 4:30pm 

This hands-on, intermediate course will guide you through a variety of programming functions in the open-source statistical software program, R. It is intended for those already comfortable with using R for data analysis who wish to move on to writing their own functions. To the extent possible this workshop uses real-world examples. Concepts will be introduced as they are needed for a realistic analysis task. In the course of working through a realistic project we learn about interacting with web services, regular expressions, iteration, functions, control flow and more.

Prerequisite: basic familiarity with R, such as acquired from an introductory R workshop.

Pre-Work:

1. Participants should bring a laptop with a recent version of R (http://cran.r-project.org/) and RStudio (http://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) installed.

2. Download course materials from http://tutorials.iq.harvard.edu/R/RProgramming.zip.
